I usually do not post Top Gear videos, but they recently caused a lot of hype by revealing “The Stig” to be Michael Schumacher. Real or not, he did apparently drive the Ferrari FXX on the Top Gear test track in the same episode, and the result is astounding.
A Korean promotional video featuring the geeky little Kia Soul doing geeky things at a loading dock.
There are allegations of racism and colonial mentality when it comes to transferring a foreign driving licence to a local one here. But given how driving tests in countries such as India are conducted, along with experience only in random low-speed unstructured traffic, maybe the bias is a good thing in this case.
BMW insists that their X5 is an offroader. We found out otherwise. A couple of people in Turkey found out the hard way. To make matters worse, the people in this video aren’t too bright either, with an overweight passenger who refuses to get off even while three out-of-shape kids are trying to push a tank.
Despite advances in safety among compact cars, research is continuing to prove that passengers in a 4×4 are more likely to survive than those in a small compact car in a high-speed crash. But it seems there is legislation coming that would make SUVs “softer” in a bid to reduce the damage done when retards take out innocent people with their tinted 4x4s while talking on the phone with one foot on the dash. Of course, if you drive a small car, you can practice defensive driving instead, to save your money and your life.
The upcoming Chevrolet Cruze is being touted as the ultimate in small cars, and it isn’t even out yet. But GM figured it was wise to throw one into a touring car championship as a safety car. It turned out to be the slowest safety car in history.
There are people around the world who endure various hardships simply to live a better life. Here is a group Mexican illegal immigrants, chased by cops on their way into America. Count them all.
Everybody’s favourite British entertainment show was spotted filming somewhere near Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. The entire Top Gear crew seems to be there, entering and leaving the country without much fanfare.
Obviously fake, but an interesting idea for football goalkeeping practice nonetheless. It involves a Range Rover and lots of CGI footballs.
This video was supposed to be a drifting demonstration for the Hyundai Genesis sedan. While the Genesis coupe has already proven itself, the Genesis sedan is a rear-wheel-drive car with two left feet, but it cannot wag its tail even at the hands of professional Formula D drifter Rhys Millen. We can only assume that the softly-sprung sedan does not have an ‘off’ button for the stability control, making it even less sporting than a Lexus LS.
