Clarkson's Amazon show to be called Gear Knobs?

Good name, but personally, I would have picked "Next Gear".

Peter Griffin on Top Gear?

This spyshot from the December issue of Top Gear Magazine confirms that Family Guy's Peter Griffin and the trio of twats from the UK version of Top Gear are buds.  I wonder if they are all in the reasonably priced car?

Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson Needs New Furniture.

My second favorite presenter of our favorite television show of any kind, Top Gear, needs some new dining room chairs.  Today was the second time that his plexiglass chairs have failed him.  It may be the chair's fault, or maybe the good life is taking a toll on his waist line.  He's turning into an American!  Thanks to his daughter, Em, for the insight.

Top Gear China is here!

The Top Gear franchise has given birth to yet another version of the great British car show. 

Australia, America and even Russia have tried their hand at reproducing the UK phenomenon that has over 200 million viewers worldwide tuning in to watch England's version of the Three Stooges testing, fighting, hooning, and generally "cocking about" while  destroying vehicles of all kinds.   Now the Chinese are having their chance to try and succeed where the others have (more or less) failed. 

Here's a 15 minute clip (as long as it lasts it didn't last) of what to expect in the coming weeks.  Hope your Chinese is good.  You won't want to miss the test of a Cadillac vs. a donky cart!

Update:  It looks like the BBC has taken it down.  Sorry.  You can still catch it (for now) at Final Gear or Jalopnik.
