A vehicle yes, a car no! A truck is not a car and I've never heard a six-year-old say "Hey daddy look! Its a big, jumping car!" when she sees a colourful metal box on four huge rubber tyres do a jump (Big Foot). And so this brings me to websites and magazines with the word "car" in their titles and then talks, publishes about anything but cars.

Righto, this is really going bad. First I notice that I'm spending more and more time surfing with web for less and less OnRoad nitro news, then I now discover that my local club only allows nitro for 2 hours in a 24 hour period.

In between these two "problems" though I'm also noticing that my favourite RC magazine (Xtreme RC)  which used to have so much OnRoad stuff in both nitro and electric focussed solely on buggies, truggies and general airborne RC stuff in their May 2010 issue.

It looks as if there is no coincidence that I flap a lot about Top Gear bits despite my intentions of keeping 3hobby.net purely RC on-road nitro racing focussed website. Well, Top Gear just got voted as the Greatest Show of the Noughts (decade) and many congratulations to the mad thrio petrolheads!

What is amazing is that, I happen to start nitro racing some time in the year 2000, so it is ironic that it is a decade about cars.

Why do they like the 911 then? Well, its because they then know what number to call when they crash! Pretty good Jeremy LOL!

I loved this short video. Its an old top Gear one titled "Clarkson vs 911" from a previous series where Jeremy talks, tests and compares the 911 series - a Porche series enough to confuse even the most stubborn of Kyosho fans who can tell you the difference between the V-One-R, RR, RRR, Evo etc etc etc.

Famous for his outspoken opinions on all things car-related Jeremy Clarkson's choice of car is scrutinised more than most.

After all, a man of his position could probably drive anything he wanted. So what's he actually laid down his own money on?
