Bush, anti Country Music, or anti NASCAR… One of our favorite shows here at Truckeo is Top Gear which for those that don’t know its about a group of Brits that have to complete auto challenges in each episodes … these challenges range from racing on some of the worlds best tracks, to long dangerous rides… .and some times some just plain stupid stunts… as seen in this clip.

So take a lesson from the boys at Top Gear and re-think the “man love” paint job if you are driving in the South.

The global landmark in question is the TV show Top Gear’s test track. Top Gear is so popular that there is a 20 year waiting list for people to see the show live and in person. The show gets high profile celebrities to drive its ‘reasonably priced car’ segment around the test track. The track is even being featured in the upcoming Gran Turismo game. This is a truly historic place for a show that is wildly popular globally.

Rutland Group is planning a 2,600-home eco-village on the property – eco-village being code for “we can charge extra” for every feature as long as the marketing department has enough time to spin it. Since the world economy is in the toilet, let’s just build a bunch more houses that can go down in value.

This reminds me of my days racing at the famous Westwood track near Vancouver BC. That track was sold to make housing lots – sold for $7 million and turned into $700 million in lots – not houses – lots… But nobody in government was on the take, right? They were just dumb??

OK, personal rant over. At least I will have Gran Turismo to drive the track with.
