Top Gear - The Ultimate Thread

So...Top Gear! The best entertaining piece of TV EVER! I started watching clips from Youtube, then I had the opportunity to acquire all 10 seasons of it and now I'm in the middle of the season 10. I've watched all episodes and I f*ucking LOVE IT!!!
These 3 guys: Hammond, Clarkson and May are so perfect together. The jokes they make is just jawdropping and I just love the cars. I just finished watching the African special where they crossed Botswana with old and cheap cars. I loved that episode. I think it was the best ever.
I never thought that 3 british blokes could be more entertaining than idiots from Jackass or some other american show but they just are. Top Gear is just BRRRRILLIANT!!!

I used to like TG a lot but the later seasons have become quite dull to me... Not enough car testing!

That's where Fifth Gear comes in

some of it is very creative, but on balance there is quite alot of rubbish in it as well. I will always remember the space vehicle that blew up though...quite a laugh.

Rubbish or not, but it's f*cking funny

I find the challenges the best part of the show. Car reviews are secondary.

lets be honest, nobody actually watches the show to find out about cars do we.
top gear is even essential viewing for my fiancee, and trust me, she doesn't give a rats ass what the new aston or jag does 0-60 in

it's all about the banter

and in that regard they triumph

i haven't come across too many of those lately. but the one i remember best is the one where they compared an RX8 to a 350z. and despite the z having much more power and torque than the 8, the 8 was still able to match the z's time around their circuit course

Top Gear's a very good show, always something interesting even on the old ones
