A brief explanation of the name of this blog:
The image is a sleek interpretation of a bit from Top Gear (Season 10, Episode 10) where they compare the performance of a Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG to a BMW M3.
The video footage is terribly funny, but I can’t seem to find it online anywhere. Here’s an excerpt from a book that the Stig later wrote describing the situation:
Jeremy was so irked by the day’s events that he accused me of deliberately missing an apex to foul the lap time of his meat wagon. I told him that if I put an apple on the apex he could drive at it all day and never hit it. Jezza swallowed the bait whole.
We lined up the cameras on a sharp corner and I placed the apple at the latter part of the apex kerb. I stood right on the corner to goad the big man further.
Jeremy went at it hammer and tongs, drifting sideways into the corner on different lines and somehow managing to miss every time. He was excruciatingly close, but no strudel. I bit my lip hard, trying desperately not to laugh. After the fifth attempt he gave up and it was my turn in the BMW. If I hit the apple, Jeremy was prepared to eat it.
I flicked the M3 into the turn, lit up the rear tyres and squelched it on the first take. At Jeremy’s request we filmed it from another angle. I nailed it and the big man took a big bite of humble pie. He picked up a grubby piece of crushed apple from the kerb and guzzled it down.

This looks like it could be the cover of the autobiography I haven’t written.
Maybe some day I’ll actually write something to go with it.
Hi all. I’m planning on using this tumblr as gallery for all the things I happen to photoshop.
I’m proud of this one. I think it’s the one thing that I’ve made that really captures my spirit.
Enjoy!
