Where’s Foreman?

Posted by Paul Regan at 1:27 pm on Wednesday September 2, 2009

ForemanIf you spotted Tuesday’s little tweak to TopGear.com you might be wondering where Foreman and Cupholder have gone.

Following our big relaunch back in October last year, we’re planning some further revisions to TopGear.com, based on your feedback and research we’ve carried out into the way people use the site.

One of the things we’ve decided to do is simplify our news and blogs sections. We think it’ll be easier for you to find stuff if we don’t split it all up. We only have one place for ‘The News’ on the telly, so we thought we’d only have one place here.

And that’s under the ‘News’ tab in the main navigation. There you’ll find news split into three simpler categories: car news, telly stuff and Formula One. Easy. Don’t worry, under ‘car news‘ we’ll still have all the life-endangering YouTube clips and insider industry stuff, only they’ll be easier to track down.

But these things never stop moving. Since pulling the lever on the new TopGear.com last October we’ve been constantly tinkering and improving the site – and we’ve even more plans for the next few months.

If you want your voice heard while we’re fiddling with what is, essentially, your website, you’ve got two options: drop us a line or leave us a note here on this blog (we will be reading them).

Do you want more web-exclusive video? Content from the presenters? More serious car info? More games? Or just more stuff blown up? Let us know. Please.

    i think that the site needs more serious car info like the stuff the foreman usually writes about

    also wots happened about those new blogs horsepower and transmission or wotever they were called

    I think that a lot of people would like to be able to access the older information on this site through some sort of archive. Maybe a page where stuff is listed, or something like that, so it can be referenced at later dates.

    I find the more serious car industry news from the Foreman interesting and it’s not too frequent which keeps up the fun nature of the site. If possible try make all videos available outside of the UK and also a good series by series guide of videos would help. The Cupholder stuff is good mindless fun, Tom does a great job of finding some random stuff!
    What will happen with the RSS feeds for the older headings if everything is put under “news”?

    most of the articles on here are from the magazine, which begs the question, why buy the magazine. Dare I say it but the Fith gear web site actually has dedicated web video articals done by GBH or HGV, you know who I mean.

    I think you should have kept them all apart from each other. I always thought that the Cupholder and Foreman were different, with the Cupholder being the “mucking about with cars” blog and the Foreman being the more sensible one. And no more Transmission? Why can’t that one – at least – survive!

    I’ve left this comment on all the affected blogs, so I hope it will have triple the effect!

    A few problems:
    Firstly, there is still no Horsepower Blog. Secondly, everyone had just got used to new TG.com, and now it’s being changed again.

    But mostly new TG.com is far better than old TG.com.

    Actually, one other thing. Please put all the blogs in the news section.
    The best thing about the Old New TG.com (getting more confusing than the Mini) was all the most interesting stuff (except from car news) was on the 1 blogs page. Less clicking on different tabs.

    you absolutly have to keep transmission, there arn’t many things on the wesbite to do with where this all comes from – TOP GEAR TELLY SHOW – and transmission was actully related to that. also maybe you could put other things on like the link to add the tg google gadget to your igoogle page.

    love the show, love the website and look forward to the new layout, but agree it would be good to see the videos (ALL the videos — I could watch Ron Dennis f’rinstance) here in Canada.

    eye agree with oj, does need more games
    e.g. see how long you can stay on your skis
    whilst being towed by lots of different cars.

    damn i found this post only now!
    i really dislike the comment sistem of the news section and i like this, but at the same time it’s boring to write every time my name and it’s less safe for everybody because everyone can post with every name he want. another thing i like is to know the name of the writer of the articles. and i like foolish chit-chattering about classic car and silly car related stuff. And some good technical articles just to understand everything a bit more.
    i wish to see some good change at the site asap, i miss my daily foreman a lot.

    It’s completely unacceptable that, in a network that is supposed to provide free, advertisement-empty programmes(I mean, aside from TV fees), we the people outside British Isles are unable not only to watch the programme once it`s broadcasted online via this website but to watch those videos from one or two seasons ago…If you’re unable ‘cos of BBC player, coudn’t you upload evthing to youtube instead?

    Why do you constantly use TopGear instead of BBC Top Gear?
    And quite self-confessing of you to rate telly on a par with cars and Formula One – separately. That’s the point – that’s the point, I tell you, – Formula ONe isn’t about cars.
    I rather liked your depicting my SAAB as a spiky-fangy thing. You still have a way to go.
    You’ll get punished for blasting a Rover.

    I’d like to see a much bigger archive in the news section more like it used to be on the old topgear site. Also I miss to tinkery stuff on the old site like that coolwall thingy and those top 100 lists. And the games… You should have kept the old games to and had these new ones. We need more games please so we can waste time=)

    Am i alone in thinking that aston martins are all boring? to me thet all look the same and have for the past 15 years yet the Porsche 911 is mocked for the same thing?i challange anyone to recognise which aston it is from the front and then we have the 177 which is an aston which has been raped by a slr merc i just think if there gonna be in the company of “supercars” they should be more of an event in design rather than the mondeo of the the super cars

    Thanks to shelly for the site!
    I’d really like some more games, though I’m a bit obsessed with Office Drive right now (but I’m rubbish). There should be a Gallery Section, so I could find older galleries as well, not just the new ones. Though I love this site anyway.

    And why should all those Aston Martins be not boring [for the certain kind of people]?!
    You see: it’s an Aston Martin?!! What else?!!
    How many second-hand Aston Martins sell a day?!
    After all, you could always say that 911 is, basically, a 6-cylinder Volkswagen Beetle…
    Read the specs…

    The thing that i like most on this site is that it gives relevant info to all the readers.Car shows new cars all that,there are many othr sites that do that,but they spit out absolutely everything that they get in ther email box.And the other thing that i love is the content from the presenters blogs column’s if there were more of those i’ll explode with plesure:)

    I think that the tg website needs to have new and more games added onto it, e.g,
    1)a limousine creating game, featuring all car types, e.g, Hummer, Porsche, Bently, Rolls Royce, etc,
    2)a reasonably priced car and power laps games featuring the stig, etc,
    3)a cool wall game, etc,
    4)all of the challenges, etc,
    5)the racing games, e.g, featuring the buses, lorrys, the 24hr race, airport vehicles, etc,
    and i think finally,
    6)the games where you can play car darts and caravan conkers, etc.
    Oh , and P.S, “Some say, that he seems to like gaming, and that he also likes driving (well duh), but all we know is, that i’m, sorry, he, is called TheStig’sOtherCousin!” (Sorry about that- i just had to do that for some reason)Fanx
