The original U.K. version. May made a special for the BBC called “James May on the Moon” which features this fantastic clip of a trip to the edge of space.

James May gets the lucky chance to ride to new heights in a U-2 spyplane. Being a passenger on the plane allows May to get to an altitude of 70,000 feet and view the Earth as almost no one else has. At twice the height of a commercial jet liner, the only people higher than the crew of the U-2 are those in the ISS Space Station.

Check out this emotional video as you travel along with James May on a trip to new heights.

Jeremy Clarkson, on of the hosts, takes a minute away from test driving sports cars and does a proper roadtest with the new Ford Fiesta.

Of course, if you are familiar with the goofy chaps at “Top Gear” you can expect an honest test mixed in with a little humor.

If there’s one thing you can take away from this roadtest of the little Fiesta is that it can be the Corvette in a challenge.  You just have to pick the right track….

Might want to think again. Plus, let us know how you got an Ostrich Egg to begin with. However, the egg is not microwavable safe and that is a good thing for the Internet as this clip from the Richard Hammond [Top Gear] hosted show “Brainiac” demonstrates.

Dudes with expensive cars and free time to have fun with them. It’s every guys dream job.

We have for you a club mix of Jeremy Clarkson, one of the hosts of the show, using exerts of the show. It’s a great fix while we wait on the Richard Hammond “Oliver” love song to come out.
