The first Bond movie starring Brosnan, Goldeneye is a good and bad movie. There are some great movies, let down by some very bad effects that look cheap and clumsy. On the positive side though, the opening sequence is truly breath taking and the tank chase is a classic.

As any fan of motor vehicles know, Richard ‘Hamster’ Hammond, a presenter on BBC’s Top Gear, had a high speed crash driving a rocket car while filming for the new series of the show. This accident brought out all the nay sayers who wanted to shut down Top Gear for promoting speed and dangerous driving.

Jay Leno has something to say about that here.

It is a very well written piece from an American who really does know what its like to love cars. While Top Gear is a very British show, from the cars to the humour, its appeal is world wide.
