Last weekend I went to Top Gear Live in Birmingham - I couldn't afford it last year and said I'd never miss it again. So I took my best buddy with me to the live show and the MPH motor show and had a BLAST. Considering the waiting list for the show is so ridiculous, this is the closest I think I'll get to seeing Top Gear - and we got the Cool Wall, we got challenges, we got The Stig and of course we...
