Rory Reid (ex Top Gear, now with AutoTrader UK) reviews a C8 Corvette in the following video:




But can anyone spot anything that says it was shot on the other side of Mt. Hamilton?

I don't know that side as well as the San Jose side...

Thanks.

Karl.

PS: At the 10:27 mark, he says the C8 has a 7-speed PDK... it's actually an 8-speed Tremec…

Actually this looks like near Joseph D. Grant Park as you can see the fencing that goes along side of the road. Also dead grass area. I don't think he went past Lick Observatroy.

Thanks for the feedback.

I think I'll take a run up there this weekend.

Yup, I agree. So I've added it to the top post as follows...

South Bay / Santa Clara County
  • Mt Hamilton Rd to Lick Observatory (starting at Clayton Rd.) - https://goo.gl/maps/5SZtntEdyYy (~16 miles)
    • Great hill climb up to the telescopes at Lick Observatory, and has even been referenced in professional articles/features:
    • Others think the back-side of Mines Rd. to Lick Observatory (from Livermore) is even better
      • See East Bay section above...

Found the spot where he does the external walk-around. That starts at the 5m10s mark in the video.

The location is here: https://goo.gl/maps/AEBhHNsn5vNduJWQ8

And a pic at the same spot from this morning...

Ollie Kew from Top Gear has been reviewing some cars here in the Bay Area.

In the following, you'll see scenes at Alice's Restaurant, Sempervirens Point, La Honda, Laguna Seca, etc.
