Clarkson, Hammond and May each have to build a stretch limo to drive celebrities to the Brit Awards. Clarkson chose a 1992 Fiat Panda, because he found it quite likeable, and made it quite long (though later on, he had to remove 7 feet to make it road-legal, while its length was criticized by his colleagues for necessitating a wheeled platform to carry passengers to the back seat), Hammond chose an 1996 MG F while maintaining its convertible roof (which did not allow it to keep people warm), and May chose to use a 1994 Saab 9000 and an 1996 Alfa Romeo 164 to create a conjoined limo, using the front ends of both (which surprised the other two, although they found that the steering could be done in both ends).
Before attempting a slalom course, avoiding a stinger trap in the process while being blasted by a fire apparatus water cannon (Jeremy failed badly, and both he and Hammond were soaked). Eventually, all three were sent to drive their celebrities, with Clarkson chauffeuring BBC Radio 1's Chris Moyles, Hammond taking singer Jamelia to the Brit Awards, and May driving rapper Lemar. Hammond arrived first and largely without incident, although the open-top nature of his limo and the throttle becoming stuck meant that Jamelia attracted more attention than she wanted. Clarkson arrived shortly afterwards, despite the entire rear half of his car being missing. May got lost and Lemar stormed out of May's car after being an hour late to the start of the ceremony. The ultimate winner of the task was whoever got the most photos of their car printed in newspapers or magazines, and Clarkson earned that honor, by virtue of having a picture printed in his own column in The Sun.

Custom Lego Minifig of 'The Stig' from BBc's Topgear TV show. Custom waterslide decals and also custom helmet. I used the standard Lego motorbike helmet as a base and built onto that.
It’s now approaching nine years since the Top Gear Polar Special first went to air and the company behind the cars from the episode are giving you the opportunity to fill Jeremy Clarkson’s shoes. Reykjavik-based Arctic Trucks Experience are now offering a variety of self-drive tours around Iceland. You can choose from daily trips, 2-5 day tours and longer tailored expeditions, all experience the amazing terrain and scenery that Iceland has to offer.
CONQUER THE ARCTIC WITH TOYOTA HILUX
Millions of television viewers around the world witnessed the mighty Toyota Hilux becoming the first car to be driven to the Magnetic North Pole, with Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson at the wheel. Now intrepid drivers have the chance to get behind the wheel of a similarly awesome Hilux and test their skills across the frozen wastes in a new range of adventure off-roading tours.
Reykjavik-based Arctic Trucks, the specialist company which engineered the Hilux to cope with the extreme conditions of the Top Gear challenge, is offering trips of between two and five days and longer expeditions through the wild landscape of Iceland. Its fleet of vehicles includes two Toyota Hilux Invincible Double Cabs equipped with special features to meet the demands of tackling the country’s tundra, glaciers, lava fields and mountains, including a set of giant 38-inch tyres that allow the vehicle to traverse deep snow and thin ice.
Arctic Trucks began business as part of Toyota Iceland in 1990 and has since built up impressive experience and a worldwide reputation for modifying 4WD vehicles for use in extreme conditions. Toyota models prepared by the company have supported expeditions to both the North and South poles, outperforming more familiar arctic vehicles such as half-tracks and Snowmobiles.
Those looking to enjoy the benefits of Hilux ownership for more everyday driving duties can take advantage of Toyota’s new 2010 revised model range. Notably Hilux’s 2.5 D-4D has been given a 20 per cent increase in power and more torque, significantly enhancing performance. The high-power 3.0 D-4D engine is now exclusively available in the Invincible Double Cab.
More than 12 million Hilux have been sold globally since its 1972 debut, and in terms of annual sales it ranks as Europe’s most popular pick-up.

This Lego miniland-scale Toyota Hilux - TopGear Arctic Special - has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 105th Build Challenge, titled - 'The Great Outdoors!' - a challenge for any vehicle designed for outdoor adventuring.
This was a tricky car to build. It's tiny to start with and the front wheels and mudguards that sit outside the body posed some challenges, in particular because this size tyre is rather wide.

Two for the price of one, Vera and Thumper play in the skies
Yet another image from Wings and Wheels 2014, and the first time i have captured the cameo markings on the top of the Lancasters. With the sun just breaking for us at Dunsfold the Lancasters dance around in the skies. Reminds me of dogs who have been apart for a while and running around chasing each other.
Really is superb to see these to up in the air together, i wonder if we will ever have three up there together.....
Massive thanks to everyone at the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (Official)for maintaining 'City of Lincon' and the people at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum for bringing over Vera so we can all enjoy these two together
As ever if you like what you see, hit that like button got any feedback, i'd love to hear from you so pop it in the comment box, finally if you think someone else might like this image, share the love and hit that share button
