My Going to be Famous Father...

One of my dad's favorite shows is called Top Gear it is very popular and I have seen it a few times. One of the episodes I saw they made a rocket out of a 3 wheeled car and launched it in the air. I very much enjoyed this and watching with my dad was even better! What's the point of this story you ask? Well my dad loves cars and is the handsome man in the photo below. Every September you will see him on the starting line at the Salt Flats making sure every racer is safe and having a good time. This year the show Top Gear went to the salt to shoot for the T.V show and my dad is totally going to be on it!!!! They interviewed him for about an hour, I am so excited to see my dear dad on T.V. Maybe they will ask him to be a regular on the show...wouldn't that be something! I posted some information about the show below. I will post again with more information on when it will air...I hope you all check it out!

Top Gear is a BAFTA, multi-NTA and International Emmy Award-winning BBC television series about motor vehicles, mainly cars. It began in 1977 as a conventional motoring magazine show. Over time, and especially since a relaunch in 2002, it has developed a quirky, humorous style. The show is presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig, an anonymous test driver. The programme is estimated to have 385 million viewers worldwide. In 2007 it was one of the most pirated television shows in the world.[2]
The show has received considerable acclaim for its visuals and presentation, as well as a number of criticisms for its content and comments made by presenters. Columnist A. A. Gill described the show as, "a triumph of the craft of programme-making, of the minute, obsessive, musical masonry of editing, the french polishing of colourwashing and grading."[3]


I have the cutest dad in the world. I love him the whole University and NOBODY can beat that!
