I'm chuffed! The hugely entertaining (and popular) British motoring BBC TV show "Top Gear" has picked up the Aerocivic on its blog: Looks rubbish, actually works. « The Cupholder - BBC Top Gear
I wonder if we'll see aeromodding turn up as a DIY challenge between the hosts on some future episode. Seems right up their alley, actually.
Cool Wall, here we come...

Hammond taped the front grille of the Challenger he was driving in order to reach the 150 mph mark on the salt flats. Can't remember which episode though. |

Oh, the car's already been around the world. Top Gear's late to the party. As of 1 week ago, visitors from:
United States, Turkey, Puerto Rico, New Zealand, Austria, Poland, United Kingdom, Finland, Ireland, Canada, Netherlands, Brazil, South Africa, Norway, Romania, Israel, Hungary, France, Australia and Pakistan.
Many more since I made that list.
basjoos has created a sensation (as if we didn't already know that). |

Oh, yes, I remember that. It wasn't a particularly good episode. Too heavy on the "manufactured suspense" in that segment. |

This was bound to happen... Someone who's seen the Aerocivic on the web thinks they spot it in person!
But, no, it's just that other boat tailed white Civic from EcoModder.

How long is the AeroCivic, nose to tail?
How much longer is it than the original Civic?
