NOW that Top Gear has been shelved, there is room in the TV schedule for a new car show.
Channel 4 has wasted no time in getting to work with a motoring series called Bangers, with supercar fan and rapper Tinie rumoured to be behind the wheel.
An insider tells me: “Bangers is filling the Top Gear hole for petrolhead viewers and is headed for primetime.
“It will celebrate classic cars from the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties and take them for a spin.
It will unearth unique classics and real gems of the decades, visit the cars’ owners and look at their history.

“Tinie is a great option as the talent attached to the project because he adores cars.”
Top Gear is currently not expected to return after Andrew 'Freddie' Flintoff was injured filming late last year.
The Sun revealed that Freddie was left in agony for 45 minutes with horror jaw injuries after his near-fatal crash.
Sources claimed several that members of the Top Gear production crew who witnessed Freddie’s horror smash are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
The BBC was forced to conduct a health and safety review into Andrew “Freddie” Flintoff’s horrific Top Gear crash but the findings are being kept under wraps.
