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?

Ever since I posted a Featured Slideshow item on the front page back in mid-August which shows the new Audi A5 shell by SMI Motorsport, I've been hunting around to buy one. Shepherd's online shop finally had some for sale so I promptly ordered one and because their online payment system was not fully implemented, I had to wait for the invoice to be emailed to me.
Well, I got the invoice today and I have to say, I was gob-smacked. No matter how much I love the look of the Audi A5 shell, I'm just cannot bring myself to pay 43.90€ for it. At today's exchange rates, that would be approximately USD 65.60 or GBP 40.15 or MYR 221.12.

Before anything happens, I would like to let you know that I am doing what I can to prevent spammers from disturbing you. Unfortunately, one man is no match against a host of bots and machines. I am using reCaptcha, IP blockers, domain blockers and even manually monitoring and banning suspected spam "members". Unfortunately this morning, through other anti-spam websites that there are yet a few more ways these spammers deploy to gain access to websites and then send messages to its members. At the bottom of this article is an example of the latest message that you may receive. Don't bother to reply nor add this person as your friend on 3hobby.net - it looks like a spam-bot trying to learn of your email address.
You can take comfort in knowing that all they want is your email address so that they can send you more messages of dubious offers ranging from "get-rich-quick" schemes all the way to meeting the opposite sex as well as libido-enhancing pills. In the end it is not a serious threat provided you take the normal precautions before taking action such as clicking on links in these emails.
