Jeremy Clarkson’s latest DVD, “The Italian Job”, was released Monday in the UK on both DVD and Blu-ray. Here’s the trailer again that we posted last month:
Ever wonder what Top Gear was like back in the day? No, I’m not talking about it’s reboot in 2002 — I’m talking about the old format. It started out in 1977 as a relatively boring automotive show:
However things really started to pick up in 1988 when Clarkson and his hair joined the show:
Sadly not many rips of old Top Gear exist, although we do have some on our forums. Don’t go in expecting the current format of Top Gear though as you’ll be disappointed.
I’ll just get right to the point — everyone’s okay and it wasn’t a serious incident. Nothing to worry about. However it’s still worth a little news post here.
On Friday, Jeremy and Richard were in a helicopter flying over Auckland Harbour in New Zealand when a seagull hit the helicopter’s rotor blade. They made an emergency landing nearby and luckily everyone is okay.
Yes this news is from last week, but I haven’t been reading my e-mail too well lately so it slipped between the cracks. Whoops.
During a press conference for Top Gear Live in Australia, Jeremy was asked about the American version of Top Gear and if he thought it was going to be shown in Australia at all. He replied that the show had been “canned” and that us Americans “just don’t get it”. Now he may have just been referring to NBC passing on the show, but it may also be really dead. I’m not sure as Clarkson isn’t usually the most reliable when it comes to these kinds of things.
Many thanks to everyone who's ripped the episodes on this site as well as Quiky and PacketCollision for being awesome sysops.
