Top Gear MPH Show

Smee and I were looking forward to this. The annual Top Gear MPH show is the easiest way to see the boys from Top Gear live if you don't wany to try your luck on the two year waiting list for the TV show. Smee and I had a late one last night (happy birthday Smee!) and needless to say, it was a drunken escapade which involved me guiding a very drunk Smee home..... walking in my heels. From Tottenham Court Road... to St. Pauls. Mmmm yes.

Lucky for us, we had booked an afternoon show. We got to Earls Court, had lunch and then made our way to the exhibition centre. It was then we realised that the show began at 2pm and not 2.30pm as we originally had thought. :-S We ran into the centre and made our way to our seats much to the annoyance of others. We'd missed the first 20 minutes! :( Upsetting.

Anyway, the rest of the show was enjoyable. The played car soccer again, had a whole bunch of stunts, did the whole boy banter thing. It is definitely worth going if you like the show. If you have no interest in cars and can't stand the hosts......then..... don't go.

The boys waving us goodbye.

Afterwards we had a look at the cars on show and Smee found his (current) dream car, the Evo X.
