We've been on some epic adventures, sampled some of the world's hottest machinery, witnessed the birth of epic supercars and even brought you new telly gold.
We also saw Fernando Alonso lose his dignity on a rollercoaster. Then we saw a family get coated in white paint in their car. Then we saw a Gold McMerc...
You get the picture. We stopped laughing and decided to bring you the rather epic highlights of 2010, in Fails.

The headline says it all. A family was involved in a car accident. Said family was carrying seven gallons of emulsion. You can guess where the emulsion ended up after the accident.
Swiss tuner murders the McMerc
Switzerland has a near 200-year history of neutrality from war. You may want to change this fact when you see what one of its sons has done to the Mercedes SLR McLaren. Swiss tuner Ueli Anliker has decked the SLR in 5kg of gold. He's also decked the dignity out of it too.

You buy a Lamborghini Murcielago SV. You buy it a playmate in the shape of a Koenigsegg CCX. You even buy a ‘Harrods' to park them in front of, and then lo and behold, The Traffic Warden climbs down from his Fortress of Adenoid to slap the two supermodels with a clamp. Pity.
Grid girl faints on Porsche 911 racer
The weight of mulling over fade-resistant ceramic brakes and extra downforce must have sent this poor grid girl crazy. Because standing on the grid for the ADAC GT Masters, she forgets what her legs are for and, well, you can watch the rest...
Dancing with the cars
Fact: dancing like MC Hammer can SAVE YOUR LIFE.
Evidence: Man walking down the street. Car comes heading straight for him. Man deploys some ‘Hammertime'. Car comes to a screeching halt. Man lives.
Shelby GT500 explodes on dyno
You've spent ages fiddling with your pipes and balancing your big ends. You give it a quick clean, strap it to a dyno and wait for the inevitable computer-readout marking you out as a Champion among humans.
But before the dyno incorrectly reads out 1,000hp which you then relay across Internet, something goes wrong. Fire happens. Then vests occur.

He of Expensive Thumbs boards the brand new 149mph F1 rollercoaster in Abu Dhabi's classy, understated and dignified homage to all things Ferrari. Only, when said rollercoaster hits its steam all dignity wobbles out of shot. Enjoy.
Top Gear gets the wind
Norwegian is a most excellent language. One of their papers proudly ran the headline you see above. Childish? Yes. Funny? Yes. Click through for the full story, including the meaning of ‘fart damper'.

Somewhere, in a small, unassuming box in the corner of the garage sits a vitally important piece of red rope. A piece of red rope used to secure something vitally important on this Evo. Watch and weep a little as the Mitsi suddenly goes a bit bananas on the dyno.
Porsche calls next SUV ‘Cajun'
No, not after the world famous Cajun Squirrel Walkers crisps, but after...actually, we don't really know what. Or why. Why Porsche, why?
(Before you all storm Internet forums, yes, that is a Porsche CAYENNE above. Since the 'Cajun' doesn't exist, we put a pic of that instead)
