Ive really loved making this magazine . Ive loved designing cars, applying advertisements and getting
friends to write blogs and help.
I started making this magazine one
week before the summer holiday
2009.
I think one of my favourite bits in this
magazine is actually the boating
holidays at the Norfolk Broads. I
spent a week down there with my
family. And apart from taking photos
and writing a diary I also made a
video. I got to drive more times than
I thought. I actually liked mooring
the boat in and knotting the boat up
to wooden posts more than driving it
in. On Thursday nobody wanted to
drive because it was so hot. Everybody was on the roof. Apart from my
mum who was forced to drive.
Please dont complain because you
should know that a mans got to do
what a mans got to do, and a woman's got to do what a man cant do.
And in this situation no man in the
world could probably be bothered to
drive a boat for a few hours why the
weather it red hot!!
That was one of the good points
however one of the bad points was
the go cart Vs go-cart. That is because the day we were planning to
film it was raining heavily so I took it
out of the magazine altogether.
In my media
career I think I
look at myself as
being a Dell
Trotter.

Cool Cars
s being a Hamster I
dont see many real cars
or motors. However sometimes Liam has his toy cars
out. (And we will pick that up
later).
Anyway if you did not know I
am a hamster movie star. I
played as the evil villain in
the Playmobiel version of
Roses to Roses. I was the
only living being in the movie
because the rest of the cast
was Playmobiel. My salary
was 5 chocolate buttons per
hour. If it was anymore I
would be fat however luckily
it only took 10 minuets to
film.

you are, we car.
At 64.8 inches wide this car can do 0-60 9.8 seconds which is fast if
you live in 1978. With a push this 1978 muscle car can hit an out-
standing 118mph. Also this car has about 125 bhp. This must be my
favourite muscle car ever. The pink one I actually bought on the 20 th
of May and is parked in my garage. Now, this is the part where I
write lodes about the car however since it is so old it is hard to re-
trieve information. Apart from my own and the orange one Ive never
seen a Ford Capri on the roads. The Capri is dying out. The only reason Ive heard of this car is because my uncle is always talking about
it. Ye good old days when you could not be ripped of by petrol and
when you could drive a sports car without it being smashed and stolen. All us, had Ford Capris we did (Only if we were rich that is). So
this is the end of this article because Ive ran out of facts. The End.

Weve had a Ford Focus CL for three years(ish) now and after two minuets of considering
time in may we decided to get a new car.
The day we decided to make this decision was a day when we were actually going on a
camping holiday. We were all packed and ready to go. My mum was ready in the driving
seat and my brother and I were ready in the back. As my dad shut the garage and stepped
into the passenger seat he notices and inch deep pool of water near his feet. This made a
big delay. A short while later we were ready to go again but as we reversed out of our
drive the middle of the car hit a bump. Immediately an orange light came up on the dash
bored. My dad says weve only damaged the sensor. However this was the final stroll because we knew it would be a lot of money to fix.
One week later when we are back form out holiday my Mum, my Dad and I decide to go
to Sherwood's Vauxhall retailer. We talked to a man in a suit who then introduced us to a
red Vauxhall Astra Club in perfect condition exactly on out 3500 pounds budget. We ordered a test drive for the next morning at 11:30am.
So the next morning before going to Sherwoods at 10:00am we decided to visit Bristol
Street motors. We looked at lots of cars outside the sales room. 10 minuets later we were
about to head back to the car when a young, blond sales-man came up to us and took us
inside.
One hour later we had all ready got a quote of 1800 pounds for our old Focus and we had
been told about a Vauxhall Astra Life for slightly over our budget. It felt like we were in
the showrooms for hours because the sales-men kept coming and going and coming and
going until finally they persuaded us to put a deposit down for the car.
A week later the Astra Life was parked safely on out drive however we had noticed a few
faults. It had a rip in the drivers seat and one of the doors had a hole in it.
So in conclusion our Top Gear top tip is. When youre buying cars never be alienated into
a car which is dodgy and costs too much.
Ive done all this writing Ive forgot about one thingthe coolness and beauty of this thing.
This car has its engine at the back and is the only car which can power slide with 4 wheel
drive, isnt that
cool. And also
just looks at this
car isnt it
uniquely beautiful. This is my
most favourite
car ever made in
the world.
personally think the car is a major part of the series. Both Ashes to Ashes and Roses to
Roses need a cool car. I was watching a documentary on the Audi Quattro lately and the
man said it was the car which would lead us into the 80s. Now my show is set in the 60s
so I have a little fault there. However the show wouldnt be the show it is with out the
Quattro. We would probably be driving about in some sort of World War 2 tank which
would certainly not suit the cool police force.
If you want another tip form me - only get an Audi Quattro if it is in red. Dont fall for
any of this white malarkey. Red is the colour to go for!!
On Sunday 26th of July, Lewis Hamilton got his first podium . 1st place. Lewis Hamilton joined
Formula 1 on 2008 when he won the Grand Prix. He is the driver in McLaren who everyone has
heard of. On Sunday 12th of July Lewis was on
a good position in the starting grid and within the
first straight he was in pole position. Then all of
a sudden this tyre burst. It was his back tyre and
after his pit stop, he was a lap behind everyone
for the rest of the race. He was stone dead last.
December 2008 Honda had just dropped out of the Formula One and
Jenson Button was left without a racing team. He would have never
thought that he could be winning the Grand Prix and on a podium
every fortnight. Jenson Button now races for Brawn and there has only been a small number of weeks when he hasnt been first on the grid
or podium. He is the ultimate 2009 driver and there is no way some
one ells can win the Grand Prix. There closest competition is the Red
Bull F1. On average if Brawn has come first, Red Bull has come second.

This morning we all woke up early on a very bumpy tide. The previous night we had
came back from the pub and had to jump onto the roof of our boat due to low tide. All
night you could hear the water splashing about as we rocked from side to side. When
we were up we had breakfast got some water then set off. We had agreed Great Yarmouth was like a smaller version of Blackpool. One thing we found weird was that
there were major companies in the middle of council estates.
Anyway at 10:30AM we stopped off at a windmill. There was a farm around it. After
that we then headed back to the boat and set off again. We were now heading back
since it was midweek. After more than one hours driving and lunch we stopped
again near a T junction.
By the end of the day we were at South Walsham. There were only two pubs there so
we had a drink at one called The Ship however by looking at the price list we agreed
that is was way too expensive so we did a runner.
The next pub was more of a Chinese, restraint, take away sort of place. The staff
there were two Chinese ladies who were a bit slow understanding our order but after
a while we had ordered drinks and our meal. Dad ordered curry. Unfortunately that
set him off. As he swiftly ran back to our smelly chemical toilet, with his bum tightly
squeezed together the rest of us laughed. We werent laughing when we had to get a
shower in the same room.
Another problem accrued that night under the name of: Mosquito. When we went to
bed there was Mosquitos everywhere so I moved back into Harry's room.

tub!!
You werent that keen sleeping on water. How has it been?
At half past eight we set off to Potterhinem. At half past ten we stopped, went out and stretched
our legs. Twenty minuets later we set of again. One hour later I got the day-jar-vu feeling as we
passed St.Bennets abbey which my Mam and I visited the previous day.
Anyway if you are interested in the weather apart from Saturday night when dad caught an Eel
and it was dark and heavy rain, every other day has been scorching hot. Also crash-wise, there
had been a few close shaves where either Harry or I have got close to the sand banks and reeds.
Also on Sunday under that 4mph singe near Wroxham we hit a small sand bank. (Nothing that our
dad couldnt get us out of.) He used a long yellow pole with a hook in the end and pushed it out,
having to jump on afterwards. But apart from that weve been crash free.
We kept driving till we got to Potterhinem. The temperature felt like it was 100 C. My mum drove
us there. We went for a walk through the small town. We got some sosage rolls and other stuff for
dinner. By lunch time everybody was swetting. Our chocklate cake for desert had melted so we
had to break into our emergency supply. After lunch Dad and Harry would have fished but they
werent permitted. So we spent most of the afternoon playing on game boys and getting a nice
tan. You could tell Dad hadnt put sun cream on. He said hes like bacon. Turns red when its
cooked nicely.
After a while I wanted to visit a cheap tat shop and everybody els wanted an ice cream so we
walked back into Potterhinem. We had a look for some pubs and we got a Magnum. The tepriture
was still hot but not as hot. We came back and watched the Simpsons then the redgenal news.
Earlier on I said Harry and Dad couldnt go fishing however they saw other people doing it so
they joined in.
As the sky darkened, we went out for some grub. We went inside this huge empty pub called The
sailors Tavern. We enjoyed our meal there and after desert we had a game of pool. We walked
back latwe when it was pich black.

At the Bridge Inn there were some mini quad bikes that children could race on. First Harry and I went on one together
then we raced separately. 3...2...1...Go!! Harry immediately
stalled and I got a good start. I lapped him but as soon as I
did that his pit stop team came up and helped him reset his
engine by this time I was directly behind Harry. Since both
carts went the same speed it was hard to over take him. He
made it harder by knocking into me every time we got side
by side. It didn't matter that much because I was one lap in
front. I then won.
At great Yarmouth when we were finally ready to look
around the pleasure beach it seemed all the rides were motor related. There were Dodgems, go carts, quad bikes, merigo rounds, 2 wheel racing, lean scooters and
those babyish safari carts.
We only went on a few and one of those were the go-carts. My Mum was taking photos (not very well),
as my Dad, Harry and I raced. As soon as the guy working there pressed the On button all the go-carts
went speeding around why mine just stopped and broke down. The man gave me a push. As soon as he
let go my cart started going backwards. As my Dad and Harry lapped me they gave me a friendly wham in
the back as they went into the back of me. The go-carts then stopped as I climbed out and received my
refund.
Anyway, back over to Harry and Dad All the carts go at the same speed so it is all about the divers
style, technique and weight. All the way though the race Harry just had the edge. So as the checker flag
waved Harry could proudly say he had won. On my go I also came first so me and Harry decided to race
again.
Power up - and we were off. We did a few boring laps where nothing happened until: oh, no. Harry had
just taken a corner too close and crashed. I then lapped him and won.
As soon as we were off the carts Damen Hills father came to congratulate Harry on his beating of our
Dad and his loss against me.
Earlier on we were on the Dodgems. I was on one with my Mum and Harry was on one with our Dad.
Our parents were navigating however Mam spent most of the time screaming and Dads spent most of the
time telling Harry to wham in to us.
After that we had a look in an indoor carting centre. You had to be over 8 years old to have a go and you
had to wear a crash helmet and a fire proof suit. When you sit in the carts you are close to the ground.
However my Mam and Dad decided it was too quick. Dad quotes: Liam would have broke every bone in
his body and Harry would be upside down on fire.

If you are a bit slow and haven't seen Top gear since September and you haven't looked at
a newspaper or magazine since April you may want to read this article to find out who the
Stig is. However if you are the biggest Top gear fanatic in the world and you buy every
newspaper in the world you also may still want to read this article for two reasons. 1-to
add it to your vast collection of old papers and magazines. 2-to find out who the old black
Stig was and why Top gear killed him off.
Right, for a starter on the first episode of Top gear 2009 this Stig came into the studio and
revealed his face. It was old F1 champion Michael Schumacher. The Clarkson gave him a
funny interview.
Now that was a while back and that news has past. However some interestingly old however secret news is included in this part of the article. So if you have watched Top gear for
years you will know that the old, black Stig flew of an aircraft carrier and lost his hand. He
was never seen again. However that was only a cover up story. The real reason the black
Stig was never seen again is because the man who was
playing as the Stig wrote in his auto biography that he was
the Stig. The racing drivers name is Perry McCarthy. (Left)
Who was the Stig was the 9th wonder of the world. (The
8th wonder was King Kong.) However now every one
knows who the Stig is. There are a few people who believe
Michel Schumacher isnt the Stig. They believe Michel
Schumacher said he wanted to be on Top Gear so they
dressed him up as the Stig then stuck him in the Top Gear
studio why they were broadcasting. If you noticed Jeremy
Clarkson mentioned a bit about him being the Stig however then he started to talk about Ferrari and Bacardi and
Stuff. Now Im really confused who to believe.
The summer holidaysnot as hot as expected but still no school. Mid holiday, my mum took Harry and I motor carting at Carting for Kids. Immediately Harry saw the speed of the carts and
dropped out. That meant I had goes. The man quotes its all about going there and having a
good time. So after I was in my crash helmet and in my safety suit with gloves. They gave me
a safety talk (other page) I was ready to go. The man showed me around for the first lap. Suddenly he let me take over him. I was on my own now in the part of the track I did not know. After I
had done a few laps I had realised where the hard corner was and as I approached it at my top
speed I didnt brake soon enough and I did a 360 onto the grass. As I waited with my hands in
the air until one of the staff helped and get me off. I then raced off again. As the chequered flag
waved a did my lap of glory and pulled into the pits. I was so ready for my second go!!
