Video For John

and any other motor home or Top Gear fans out there. I’ve ripped the section from Series 10 Episode 6 (last Sunday’s?) where Richard Hammon and James May team up with some Touring Car drivers to race various motor homes around an old track. That is if it ever completes uploading to YouTube… I’m glad I didn’t include the last segment (otherwise I would be waiting all night) that featured Jeremy Clarkson showing a behemoth of a motor home, big enough to hold a sports car in one it’s storage areas!

I still think the little red Toyota was a bit of a cheat, calling it a camper van clone maybe, but a proper motor home? Nope…

God Save The Queen

Category: Personal,VideosChrisM @ 9:38 pm

The Renault Formula 1 Racing team appeared to have a little time on their hands recently, either that or they have caught onto viral marketing via YouTube 🙂

Anyway, in the video below, you can hear one of their cars ‘play’ the tune to God Save The Queen, (Britain’s national anthem).

Skip to 58 seconds in to get to the ‘tune’.
I don’t know whether they used a computer to control the accelerator, or had the accelerator set to maximum and changed the value in the rev limiter.
Either way, if you like it, you will find a lot of other renditions of tunes at YouTube.
Top Gear did something similar a while back, when James May attempted to use engine revs to play the Top Gear theme tune.

A Couple Of Video Clips

Category: Personal,VideosChrisM @ 11:54 pm

I was catching up with some of the last 6 months of UK TV today, and came across these gems…

OK first one is Billie Piper, in Dr Who, with a moment of pure honesty :> …

Secondly we have James May, from Top Gear, proving his posh, slightly boring guy appearance is mis-leading …

This was just after Jeremy had read out a letter complaining about his comments regarding bus drivers, and James mentioned it was a lot easier, in his experience, to drive a bus than work on Top Gear.

Finally, we have a shot of James in his new series on Sky – Shark Attack, not exactly his normal brogues and sensible shirt…
