Listen up, television fans. Sniff Petrol‘s mate Big John has made a fantastic new TV series about Stock Car racing and it starts tonight at 10:30pm on BBC1.
The show is called Gears & Tears and it focuses on a real life War Of The Roses between Stock Car’s two dominant dynasties.
It’s got racing! It’s got fighting! It’s got crashes! In a later programme it has a man with the most lurid arse bruise you’ve ever seen.
If you like Sniff Petrol but you wish it was a six part fly-on-the-wall BBC1 documentary about Stock Car racing on Monday nights after the news, you must watch Gears & Tears.
Gears & Tears, BBC1, 10:30 tonight

For quickly forgotten reasons probably related to attempting to be more like Stephen Fry, Sniff Petrol has signed up to Twitter and is now burping irrelevant car-related toss of 140 characters or less into the netospace. This seems to have gone down quite well so far, especially the ‘live coverage’ of Grand Prix so why not sign up so that you too can say “Well the lazy fucker hasn’t bothered to write another proper issue, but at least I’ve got some dismally ill-considered sentences on this silly fad feed to keep me going”.

Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat. But not, as it turns out, as fat as the sales of the splendid new Big Book of Top Gear which was written by the bloke behind this website. Not literally behind it. I think directly behind it is just some wires and circuit boards and stuff. If anyone’s feeling handy with a screwdriver they might want to look into that one. Where were we? Oh yes, the Big Book of Top Gear. It’s sort of like Top Gear on the TV, but it’s a book. In other words, it’s not really like Top Gear on the telly although someone on Amazon has called it ‘childish’ in his review so there must be some similarity somewhere.
