It's going to be petrol head heaven - the Top Gear crew's in town for a live show celebrating motoring madness and mayhem, a veritable PC free zone.

The drawcards? Two men who are like rockstars of the motoring press. Jeremy Clarkson, who managed to upset Britain's prime minsiter by calling him one eyed (it turns out Gordon Brown is literally one eyed having lost one in a rugby accident as a teenager). And Richard Hammond, the man who cheated death after crashing a dragster at more than 300 kilometres an hour.

While Clarkson is maintaining a low profile we did manage to lure Hammond out with a car.
