Paul commented: “Konnie took to the challenge like a duck to water and with over two dozen willing drifting enthusiasts on hand we successfully smashed the previous record of 12 cars with a whopping 29.”

We hope to have the video up here very soon so please stay tuned!

Paul and the team have just returned home following gruelling 5 week world tour with Top Gear Live.The tour commenced in Johnnesburg in South Africa for the 3rd time in as many years.

X Factor finalists Sarah & Sean Smith (better know as Same difference) get slimed by stunt driver Paul Swift for Nickelodeons Kids TV choice awards.

It was a competition to see who could keep the most slime in there bucket.... "sounds easy" But oh no.... they had to hold the bucket of slime while skidding and sliding and turning and twisting...Sarah was petrified at even getting into the car, let alone holding a bucket of slime while doing it!

Then came the time to be strapped into the car! Sean was a gentleman and let Sarah go first! Lol! The car ride was hilarious! The bucket of slime was flying everywhere and Sarah was screaming at the top of her voice! However Sean got more slime in his face than Sarah as she told the Paul to do a backwards flip manoeuvre first! Grrr!

Same difference commented “Overall it was possibly one of the funniest days of our lives and we had a brilliant time”. At the end of the day it was time to see who had kept the most slime in the bucket... click HERE to view the video or tune into the nickelodeon kids choice awards to see the full show!

Parking A Dream At North Beach
by Nick Mollet
3rd September 2007

A RANGE of spectacular car stunts dominated North Beach yesterday.
Hundreds of people witnessed highly specialised driving skills at the Sporting Bears Motor Club’s second Dream Rides day, which raised money for local children’s charities.
Top stunt display and precision driver Paul Swift, the five times national autotest champion, demonstrated his technique on both two and four wheels.
World record attempts were made at parallel parking and J-turning into the tightest space and highest number of doughnuts (a manoeuvre which rotates the back or front end of the car around the opposite end), in 10 seconds.
Paul’s father Russ was unable to participate in the event after he broke his arm a few weeks ago changing a wheel.
Both have appeared on BBC’s Top Gear, teaching grannies to turn doughnuts. Paul has also appeared in the programme’s car football match.
Islanders and visitors were able to sit in a car as the stunts were performed, which included parallel parking between two cars – but only if they made a donation.
‘It’s fantastic – it’s the first time we have been at the North Beach. We are trying to raise as much as we can with the rides,’ said Mr Swift.
‘We have parking manoeuvres, two wheel driving like in the James Bond film and we are trying to break a few world records.’

The efforts were appreciated by all ages – especially the precision parking between cars at speed.
‘It was perfect – I like the thrills and the spills and fast cars and anything fast,’ said Veronica Oliveira, 34, a Brazilian on holiday and business in the island from Windsor.
‘Guernsey is not the kind of place where you can drive a lot of these cars and it’s nice to show them off,’ she said.

This year all money raised at the event will go to Help A Guernsey Child, The You Can Do It Foundation and The Priaulx Premature Baby Foundation

My stunt spin-off
By CHLOE SCOTT - Metro Newspaper - Wednesday, July 11, 2007
The challenge: Learn to drive like a professional stunt driver.
The venue: London's Earl's Court.
The participant: Chloe Scott, 31, Metro writer.
Driving experience: Occasionally gets to run around in mum's Skoda.
I'm in the middle of Earl's Court Exhibition Centre, where they are preparing for this year's MPH. That's the Jeremy Clarkson-fronted auto show featuring a load of souped-up cars and 'Stig Wars' – a series of high-octane stunts like those done by the near-legendary and deeply mysterious Top Gear race-driver, The Stig. And I've been told to not come back until my driving skills come close to his.

Sunday driver
The problem is, I can hardly drive. I don't own a car and, in an effort to keep my carbon footprint down, in recent years I've stuck solely to cycling. When I do drive, it's only on fraught trips to Tesco in my mum's battered old Skoda, when I struggle to tell my clutch from my carburettor.

Clarkson arrives soon after we stop and congratulates me on my efforts. 'But you're a long way from The Stig's standards,' he adds. Oh well, at least next time I'm at Tesco, I can try a new kind of doughnut
