-Top Gear, season 10 episode 09
In honor of the British Grand Prix running this weekend, on Silverstone's 60th year of operation, I decided to use a shot from the Top Gear episode where the lads and The Stig participate in the Britcar 24 Hour race at Silverstone.
Yes, those are sponsor logos: Pearse Biscuits and Peniston Oil. Or maybe it's referring to Hamster and Clarkston.
I've become a fan of Top Gear. A big fan. If only it was shown here in the States, on a station I can get (i.e., no BBC America)...

The 'sponsers' were made up names, because the BBC isn't allowed to show real brands (remember they're taxpayer funded and aren't allowed to advertise. I remember kids show Blue Peter used to cover over logos on cereal boxes and washing up liquid bottles whent ehy made stuff)
And the 'arse biscuits' is a reference to Father Ted
The new series has been a mixed bag so far, hopefully it will get better (one epsidoe is supposed to be a race against a bullte train!)

Yeah, I know they were made up; they even said it in the episode. But I didn't want to spend the time right then to explain it... made it funnier, almost, kinda.
I'm enjoying the new season, but it has been a little slow-starting. Ah well, there's always the the episode with Lewis Hamilton, the Peel P50, and the Bugatti Veyron vs Eurofighter Typhoon race to watch...
