Presumably most of us still watch/enjoy Top Gear, so what is your favourite clip.

I enjoyed this Ferrari F12 review most from the last series (this is the correct video work but not the right music I think).

This was my favourite road trip and inspired me to go myself to the Stelvio Pass.

But for its simplicity this has to be my favourite. No niggling and powersliding around a race track. No silly pranks and crashing into each other, just an awesome car and an awesome sound on awesome roads and awesome video work with an appropriate soundtrack. Just let the car do the talking Jeremy, this is what being a Petrol/Pistonhead is all about!

The Aston V12 Vantage piece was brilliant. The car, the roads, the music and the filming were all superb, as was JCs commentary. I could watch it forever...

Has to be the Bugatti veyron race across Europe for me. To see such an engineering marvel blasted across Europe like that. I thought it was great tv.

It probably works better with Pure Shores by All Saints or Laura Non C'e by Nek.

So many.
For a memorable road trip the blast across the Alps to Stelvio in supercars.
For comedy value, the Reliant Robin.
The Senna tribute was lovely.
The Ascari A10 verses the Daihatsu Materia was probably the epitome of what makes it such a great show.

The ultimate for me is the Zolder race bit http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detail...
The music, the filming, the engine noises - everything is perfect.

I love the v12 vantage piece but the 24 hour race in the 330d was also great. You could tell how much it meant to them to finish the race.

The E39 M5 review with the Back To The Future theme is my favourite

Mine was the endurance race they all entered round Silverstone in a diesel 3-series. Not the best car, or the best soundtrack, or the best locations, but a real insight into petrolheads doing something I'd love to (but will never) do.

Loved the Rally-Cross one and the All British Made Vehicles one too. The clip that really gets me is Hammond's Ode to a Land Rover as the Greatest Car. I can't find the UK clip, only the Worldwide offering.

So many but loved when they went to France with a Zonda, 430 and Ford GT. Struggling to get out of the car park and JC exiting the Ford was hilarious.

The amphibious cars were great too.

Sorry but for a single piece of filming "moment" the Aston V12 wins every time.

Sound of the car.

The visuals.

The music.

Superb.

I like the one where Jackie Stewart's coaching takes 20s out of James' lap time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detail...

Lots of TVR content too.
