Jeremy Clarkson opened the doors of his farm shop to the public in February of this year, attracting quite the crowd. One of which, was me. I was fortunate enough to get a quick chat and a picture with the famed former Top Gear host, as well as buy a few of his potatoes he’d grown on his very own farm.

Here in the UK, the coronavirus pandemic has meant we’ve been in lockdown since March 23rd. Though measures are currently being eased, staying indoors as much as you can is still being advised.
As a car enthusiast, being indoors isn’t particularly ideal. I haven’t been out driving my car anywhere near the amount of times I used to and driving is, as you can imagine, something I very much enjoy. In speaking to three fellow motoring addicts, we all agreed it’s not an amazing time to be a petrolhead.
Motoring journalist Ryan Hirons said: “I guess right now it’s really a bad time to be anything but especially a car enthusiast if your enjoyment relies on driving your car, going to car shows and generally doing stuff with your car.”
However, there are still plenty of home-based activities car enthusiasts can do to stay entertained while satisfying their motoring interests at the same time. Here are five great examples…

Last Sunday, the first episode of the new series of Top Gear aired on BBC Two. As you can imagine, I was in front of the TV the second the clock turned 8:00 to watch it. Now, here’s my quick review of the episode and what I thought of it.
Coming soon to a TV screen near you will be the brand new series of Top Gear. Just recently, the show has released a trailer featuring many cars, a flying car, a modified tractor and much more. In my opinion, it looks very good. The trailer even hints at the return of what looks to be Chinese Stig. If you want, you can watch the trailer at the bottom of this post.
Recently with all the buzz around Fast & Furious Live, I’ve been thinking about the future of the franchise. Currently, we have 8 films, a theme park ride and a live show, just to name a few things the Fast franchise produces. The last movie broke records on release, making it clear that this is a franchise that doesn’t plan on slowing down any time soon. So what’s next for Dom and the crew?
Showcased at the Detroit Auto Show, this is the new 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt Edition. It’s a more expensive, more powerful version of the 2018 Mustang GT, though no price or performance figures have been released yet. If you don’t already know, Bullitt is an old 1968 Steve McQueen movie with a very famous car chase scene in it. This new Bullitt Edition Mustang pays homage to that chase by taking the iconic look of the classic Mustang McQueen drove in the film, and putting it on the modern Mustang. What you get from that is a very cool, retro car that you can tell is special.
1. Baby Driver.
Just before I get into this list I want to specify there is no order. All three films choices are based on my own opinion and let me tell you it was hard enough to narrow it down to just three. Anyway, onto my first film, Baby Driver. Probably the most stylish out of all the movies on this list, Baby Driver combines slick driving and action with one of the best soundtracks in cinema history.
