My favourite rock hero on my favourite car show!


"7/7. In the conclusion of the show's 18th series, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May set out to discover if they can go motor racing for less than it costs to play golf. There is also a double helping of guests, with rock star Slash and F1 driver Kimi Raikkonen - who has returned to the grid after two years in other motor sports - taking to the track in Reasonably Priced Cars. Meanwhile, Richard gets behind the wheel of the new BMW M5, which is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine instead of the high-revving V10 of its predecessor. Last in the series"


Sun 11 Mar  8pm - 9pm  BBC2, BBC HD

Can't wait!  :beer:

Fashion expert Trinny's night out with rock star Slash

Today at 11:45

MISMATCHED pals Trinny Woodall and Guns 'n' Roses star Slash head out for a night on the town.

The rock star, 46, was seen having dinner with the TV fashion expert last night at the C Restaurant in Mayfair.

All eyes were on the odd couple as they dined with Trinny's ex-husband Johnny Elichaoff, who she divorced in 2009.

Style guru Trinny, 48, and Slash know each other through her musician ex.

The fashion critic, who is infamous for grabbing women's chests and telling them what to wear, dressed in a head-to-toe black outfit with a cream and brown fur jacket.

She had obviously not been giving her friend Slash any guidance on his wardrobe though, as he looked his usual scruffy self.

The rocker teamed a leather jacket, matching hat, blue checked shirt and a T-shirt with a woman's silhouette on it with some dark black bottle-top glasses.

The musician had spent the day with the Top Gear crew filming Star In The Reasonably Priced Car.

He wrote on Twitter: "Top Gear was a blast. Rained most of the time but it didn't matter. Cool to be there. Got to play a little guitar at the end too."

After dinner, the trio appeared in good spirits as they all headed off in a car together.

Perhaps they were going home to practice their air guitar.

Top gear has been hit and miss for the past couple of seasons but this season it showed a return to form as far as I'm concerned. Except for this episode it was just weird, can't really put my finger on it.

But still seeing slash on top gear is f'ing awesome, he seemed to be quite nervous  :hihi:
I guess his lap time was okay considering it was a wet track.

The ending of the show was awesome really didn't see that one coming!

Not a bad episode and the ending was special. Haven't had other rock stars do that. :)

He's a bit of dick, does it with everyone, shouldn't be taken seriously.
