Top 3 Top Gear episodes - non specials

[Welshbeef]

In celebration to what likely is now ended as we know it top 3 IMHO

The episode where Clarkson builds a Corvette V8 food blender non silenced - maxes it out in the audio and James May drinks the Man Drink

The Britcar 24hr a genuine test for the whole team

The 3 sports cars in Isle of Man M6 v 911 C2S v AM V8.

Sorry but Ive not seen the fat lady sing yet...... I think there is life there still. After the incident with Johnathon Ross and Manwell resulted in JR being put out to pasture... he came back.

Me thinks.... Top Gear may be in for a relaunch - new format but the three will still be involved. JC put away for a little rest and then brought back out. JC by all accounts is burnt out and going through issues with wife / mother and issues with health aswell.

I dont think the BBC would be stupid to get rid of top gear as its too much of an earner

On topic, I did enjoy the ambulance one from this season, it made us both laugh a lot.

The best feature (I can't remember what else was in the episode) was the Aston one with "An Ending" soundtracking it.

Good call - the farewell to the V12, little did we know then that they would continue for a good while yet and fingers crossed continue to do so v12 bliss.

Gives me goosebumps still.

"Well it's an Aston Martin Vantage with a V12 engine. So what do you think it's going to be like?!"

Another TG thread? Seriously?

Some of my favourites that spring to mind..

• The £1,500 Porsche challenge
• The one where they bought cars for £1,000 and did rallycross
• Communist Cars

[MattHall91]

The American Road Trip where they (attempt to) give their cars away in New Orleans is one of my personal favourites.

My other 2 are the race to Verviers with Jezza in the 612 and probably the Ambulance episode from this series. Couldn't help but laugh most of the way through that.

Best for me was when JC drove a DB9 to Monaco IIRC, no idea how Capt Slow & Hamster got there!!

Reason its my fave is that a few weeks after transmission I got to do Monaco to North London, alone, in a Bentley Arnage T.

[SEE YA]

I like it when it was about the cars, and not three people from the last of the summer wine with cars.

I love the one where they travel across amarica in the sls 458 and gt3
Also the one where they go across Albania. I love the drag race where they have the yugo and the s63 catches up with im a unrelentless style.

The last few series haven't been as good as the ones around 2010.

I enjoyed it when clarkson did the london to scotland on a single tank of fuel in a a8 and when he raced the sun.


The Vietnam special is the best

[A900ss]

I'm a bit pissed off as I thought I 'might' have a cameo appearance in the first episode they pulled. I saw them filming the episode with the three classics when I was out in the TVR in Cirencester.

I went past them on the by pass as they were going a bit slow.....

[Erdy]

First I can remember

> van challenge
> pretending to be 17
> 1st amphibious car challenge

Clarkson in a reliant

The reliant rocket first time around as you never believed it would actually take off.
