Top Gear Isle of Man Postage Stamps revealed

Top Gear Isle of Man Postage Stamps Until recent years, the Isle of Man was best known as a sleepy little island off the Lancashire coast with an annual TT race and low tax.

BMW i3 EV takes to the race track (video)

BMW i3 EV takes to the race track (video) The BMW i3 EV City Car finally got revealed in July in production guise, and it’s a clever car if not exactly a looker.

Sadly, the i3 hasn’t done particularly well in Euro NCAP tests but that hasn’t stopped orders for the i3 exceeding anything BMW could have reasonably expected.
