Topgear, BBC 2's second highest rating show (after Bill Oddball and the tree huggers) and American emmy award winner is probably the last remaining, true petrol head show on television. A true homage to this fact is that for a 500 capacity studio there are 190,000 people on the waiting list for tickets... So then... only 19 years to wait. This site is a feeble attempt to gather the essence of Topgear and try to create one, true fan club...

Perhaps you may be wondering what all the fuss is about or why that new fangled channel five show can't get near it in the ratings... the reason is simple:

Topgear is created from start to finish in an old aircraft hanger, the smell of oil all around and with the test track - now a legend in itself and home to The Stig only 100 metres away it's a true mens show (teenage girls can tune in to see Hammond's new teeth but that's about it) that doesn't feel the need to be modern and fast paced in some fancy London studio with an ex-racing driver and loads of other people you haven't heard of if you want that... You want another show

Saying that however it would not be a true testament to the hard work of the team if we neglected to mention the truly mind - numbingly hard work put into the show... Many of the films we see and enjoy are months in the making with the 2005 Bugatti Veryon race taking 33 days to make... That's not even one minute of film per day...

So I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you Topgear for not changing and thank you Topgear for giving us those thrills.
