There are quite a few moments I really enjoyed.

1. North Pole episode
2. South America episode
3. Veyron blatting over 250mph (I do hope my mind isn't playing tricks on me with that one!)
4. American episode with road kill......
5. Car Darts (firing at the caravan)

Thinking about it I could keep going for ages here (I watch too much Dave) so I'll shut up now.

I still rate the McLaren F1 test as one of the best features.

Difficult to choose just one 'best' though, there have been many highlights over the years.

Hammond getting pushed towards a rampaging bull in Pamplona, by a chubby Spanish chap (murcielago roadster piece iirc). The fear in his eyes... Delicious.

I Really enjoyed that ending.
I did too, and the sad thing is that he might just be right.

All the road trip specials are great, especially the Bolivia, Greatest Roads, and Vietnam.

They actually make the normal episodes look a bit dull!

The original Cerbera roadtest in the mid 90s, plenty of footage of the mighty AJP and a little chat with the late great Peter Wheeler. The Alfa Romeo challenge, the Vietnam episode in full ("You don't know man, you weren't there!") and a special mention to the American episode. The roadkill part where JC turns up with the cow on his roof is probably the closest I've ever been to wetting myself laughing.

For me, the Alfa episode. Broken down and confronted by 2 women James May's "Hello" goes down in history for the best TV moment ever.

For me:
The Lancia special - gorgeous vehicles and soundtracks;
CLK Black - fabulous;
McLaren SLR race - the music when it goes over the massive bridge was just lovely.

That was the track cars for less than 5K; the circuit was the European equivalent of Pocono, EuroSpeedway Lausitz!
