The thing being chased by the tank was the Range Rover Sport, I liked that too :-) my favourite clip was clarkson vectra review, ha ha ha

That was my first ever post, "what the heck, I'll try the forums" I thought. Wierdly how come this post seems like it was ages ago yet that episode of Top Gear doesn't seem that long ago?

Anyway, 10,000th post

Because its on Dave every week.

You've obviously not read Deevlash's resurrection post.

Can't believe no one mentioned the episode where they got some boffins in and designed and built a genuine rocket.
The excitement that JM and RH had whilst they were waiting for it to launch was almost palpable.

I was gutted for them when that hinge failed, by far the best episode of TG that one for me.

Do you mean the mini-ski-jump rocket, or the reliant-robin-shuttle?

The reliant episode is my favourite one.

+1 I thought they were going to do some sort of joke fake launch, when it actually took off i was pretty impressed God knows what i'd be like at a real launch!

The mobile rolling road with the 70's supercars still makes me laugh - especially following the result of JC's Maser.

I Really enjoyed that ending.

James May & Jackie Stewart knocking 20 seconds off the lap time. Awesome.

Hammond coming out of that tunnel, to that music in that Pagani Zonda Roadster. His childishness showed the real passion/excitement for the car, giggling like a school boy flooring a £300k supercar through a tunnel - living the dream!! I think I relate because I was grinning and loving watching it, god knows what it must have been like at the wheel:

Between 1:30-2:36.

where they jumped that old Caddy on the US version the other day was amazing!

Best of all time was the Rocket Robin.

That's the first clip I thought of when I read the thread title. I think I created a thread when it was first aired, I was that impressed with it.

The one where Hammond crashed that jet car....obviously set up though

I think he genuinley cricked his neck in the GTR too didnt he? The first shots of the car coming to a stop etc didnt look set up. Wasnt he driving the Caparo the time you are talking about?
