Default TopGear Magazine AU do the Eco Challenge on a Postie Bike!

I was looking up the Telsa entry in the Darwin to Adelaide Eco Challenge today and who should bob up in the list of entries but TopGear - with a Honda CT110 Postie Bike - alcohol fuelled no less!!

A Fuelie Postie!! Wicked.

Here's the link, scroll down to the entry...

http://globalgreenchallenge.com.au/p...9-participants

Here's what's listed...

Top Gear/Honda - Honda CT110
Team Manager: Ken Stanford
Engine Capacity:110cc - 1 cylinder
Engine Type:Alcohol
Class:C
No. of Participants:1
www.topgear.com/magazine
Drivers: James Stanford, Ken Stanford, Petr Beneda
Motorbike Number: 17

For those who don't know what a Honda CT110 is, it's the scooter our posties use to deliver the mail here in Oz. Indestructible little bike.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CT110

I own a few CT110 posties as shack bikes and whilst they're fun to hoot about on in in small doses, but I would NOT like to ride one from Darwin to Adelaide. Brave, crazy boys.

So, when will we eventually see this 'challenge' on or in TopGear?

It's for the magazine. Steve mentioned it on twitter and there are a couple of articles on the website right now.

I'm pretty sure this is for TG Magazine.

Icedvovo - For future reference, use the TG Spoilers section for posting items like this, just to be safe. I've not moved this as it's not for the show.

Edit: Thread title updated.

Cheers, thanks for the tip. I thought it okay too as there is no actual show in production per-se.
