Webber GT2RS
This video shows Mark Webber taking people round the porsche track at Silverstone in his Porsche 911 GT2 RS.
This is a great video and I can really see why marks bought one.

A V12 IS NOT ENOUGH!
A few weeks ago we saw Rowan Atkinson on Top Gear he brought with him the Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe that is starring in the new Johnny English film. But this is no ordinary Phantom Coupe with a measly 6.75L V12 it has a 9.0L V16 under the bonnet!
The V16 produces "unbelievable power and torque figures"which have not been released. But seeing as the ordinary phantom with its little V12 produces 453 bhp and 531 pound-feet of torque, this V16 monsters figures are sure to be spectacular. Rolls royce have used this 9.0L V16 in another car! the 100ex. http://www.topgear.com/content/features/stories/2006/02/stories/07/1.html
From the image we can assume it is the same engine used in the Johnny English Phantom Coupe. It looks identical to the Engine in the Phantom at the Top Gear studios.
Some of the benefits of a V16 are listed here : http://www.enginesandgearboxes.co.uk/makes/rolls-royce.aspx
If I were to go and see Johnny English Reborn it would not be to see the Comedic talents of Rowan Atkinson, it would be to get a better look at this wonderful Phantom Coupe. The addition of this V16 makes this special car just that bit more special. Forget the endless paint, wood and leather combinations you can choose from and be one of the first to choose the V16 option.

MAGIC of MAYWEATHER
With the upcoming fight between Floyd 'money' Mayweather and 'vicious' Victor Ortiz less than two months away I thought I would bring some videos and some thoughts on the fight. The press confrences have been held and training has begun. Two things to bear in mind with this fight are that Mayweather has not fought since May 2010, and will step into the ring after 16 months off. Ortiz on the other hand is coming off a win over Andre Berto where he took Bertos WBC belt.
Here are both the New York and LA press conferences.
I know what your thinking, Mayweather does appear to be much calmer, he did little to no smack talking at all. Compared to the build up of his previous fights a nun would have caused more of a stir. Mayweather in my opinion is still the pound for pound best fighter in the world, and I do think he would beat Pacquiao! The thing with Mayweather is, that even though he's not smack talking at all he's still inside the head of his oponent. As you could see Ortiz furious that the only thing that people care about is Mayweather Pacquiao. That will continue to work in Mayweather favour until that paticular fight happens, any fight will be overshadowed and therefore Mayweather's opponent will be too.
Mayweather threw many subtle psychological jabs at Ortiz, looking past him on many occasions. Mayweather continued to bang home the point of Ortiz's one loss where as Mayweather with his 41 - 0 record can never have that thrown at him. Another hit was earning power, he wouldn't be Money Mayweather if he couldn't make some! "I'm gonna make a ton of money, Ortiz is gonna make some" as far as financially and psychologically Ortiz isn't in this fight!
HBO Face Off promo.
The full episode is out tonight! and I will bring you that as soon as I can.
Ortiz said if Mayweather boxed he too will box, if he banged he will bang! It safe to say that Mayweather's wizardy even after 16 months will be far too good for Ortiz to consider boxing him. It is not an option for Ortiz. As far as banging, we saw against Shane Moseley that Mayweather can bang with the best by feeding Moseley right hands all night!
It will be interesting to see how good Mayweather is after the lay off, wether time has slowed his brilliance. Even if it has he will be a class above Ortiz. This fight will be good for Mayweather a good sparring session with a southpaw ready for Pacquiao next!

Can Batman rise above The Dark Knight?
This is the official trailer for Christopher Nolans Batman Dark Knight Rises. It sees Christian Bale return as the lead, along with Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman. With the addition of Bane (Tom Hardy) and Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) the film is set to be just as dark as the Dark Knight.
Bale brings back his overly horsey voice which starred in the previous two films and Terminator Salvation. I am looking forward to Anne Hathaway redeeming Catwomans name after the shocking portrayal Halle Berry brought us, this shouldn't be too hard for her seeing just how bad that film was! The inclusion of Hardy as Bane could be the best thing about the film. Hardy as stated he'll play the character "more menacing" than in Batman & Robin, this could bring a real darkness to the film. Hardy has put on some serious size to fit the role, something hes no new to having played bronson. As long as he doesn't look like an overweight wrestler like the Bane from Batman and Robin I am sure Hardy will be fantastic!
Another trailer is out showing more action, and surprisingly robin williams. I am pretty sure it its a fake but it's good to watch anyway. Imagine if mrs doubt fire and the genie were villans in the new film? what a film it would be!!

The Amazing Spiderman!
The new trailer for The Amazing Spiderman has just hit the web! The reboot of one of the most successful franchises in movie history has a big act to follow. The original three spiderman films grossed over 2 billion dollars worldwide!
Despite the financial success they had, this is a much needed reboot after the highly comical (for the wrong reasons) spiderman 3. The new film sees Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) don the blue and red suite for the first time.
From the trailer the film does look like it has had a new breath of life. Hopefully the film follows suite and swings Spidey back on top to his rightful place as the king of the comic book films!
