Favorite episode of Top Gear

[imported_Oni]

Now this is a Forza forum, so your a car nut, and Top Gear is for car nuts. Im sure most of you watch Top Gear, and if you don't please crawl out from under the rock. So tell me your favorite episode and why!

Mines is Season 14 Episode 1 where they go to Romania to find the greatest road in the world.

I just watched episode 4, season 11... The close race with the GT-R R35 in Japan...
And I found it quite hilarious...

Still got 6 more season to watch through though...

 

[imported_alexleighton]

The one where they go to Bolivia is for sure my favorite. And I like the one where they drive semis too, a lot of laughs there.

Vietnam special was absolutely fantastic, that's my true favourite. However my favourite normal episode has to be either the Zonda F CS vs. Veyron SS / Cruise vs. Diaz episode or the Sebastian Vettel SIARPC.

 

[Dukey_40]

The one where they go to the States and drive out with graffitti down the side of their vehicles ie. Nascar Sucks etc....Cheeky but hilarious...

 

[Prince.M5]

All of them are pretty hilarious, but my favourite would be the one where they make a motorhome. Jeremy's were bloody hilarious!

Hard to pick one episode but certainly some challenges stick in the mind.

1940s Top Gear was funny, Vietnam/Bolivia etc were ace, the Middle East xmas special, 10k supercars that arent Porsches, British Leyland, British Sportscars. so many.

So hard to pick just one episode.

Series 17 Episode 2 is probably my favorite at the moment. Captain Slow complaining about the Nurburgring make me lol every time.

Series 12 Episode 4 is a close second.

I don't really know if I have a favourite. All of them tend to be very good by themselves.

The episode of Top Gear USA where they had to carry moonshine in the back of their cars!

 

[GTlondoner]

UK vs AUS episode, Clarkson cheating with the XJ220 engine & drivetrain transit van race

Sir theres only 1 Top Gear! All others are just in the shadow of Top Gear UK.

 

[Bogie 19th]

Ah, yeah..I can't stand Top Gear UK. I prefer Top Gear USA and The Car Show.

 

[E28]

Probably the Middle East Special. Them at the start in the plane.

 

[imported_eSZee]

GTR japan episode was quite great. Vietnam was great. The africa episode was great. The south america episode was great.
The best ones though are still the epic challenges from the early seasons. They don't feel as staged or planned as the newer stuff and the hosts all seemed to act more naturally.
My favorite has become the INTERCEPTORS bit. It's still funny every time.

Exactly.

Are you mad? Top Gear USA is horrible. They try to copy the british jokes. But it just doesn't work... Top Gear UK for life.

We will just agree to disagree

I prefer the US TOp Gear too, the UK version tends to hate on certain makers no matter what.

Top Gear UK is more car-related entertainment than car facts. The only facts you'll see are 'The new car name car can do 0-60 in 6 seconds'.

 

[Jonnio]

The Botswana Special, closely followed by Vietnam.

One word...

"OLIVERRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

usually they tell "horsepowers" and price. and torque. And certain cars they go way into detail. Ones they like.

Top Gear has turned into more show than go. Less about stats and more about "let's see if we can pull the wool over their eyes" type of show.

Yes, but in doing so. They tell about the cars they are testing. And in fact. Most of the specials involve using cars that are reasonably priced. So they are getting more relevant to every day people than they used to.

Every magazine gives you stats.
Top gear is more about conveying to the audience what it's like to drive some of those cars.
If you don't get the show, you don't get the show. Simple as that.

I have watched the show since it's inception. Originally it was about cars, stats, and tests. Now it's about jokes, less about stats, more about making competitions that are faked so that every challenge ends up nail biting close. Top Gear UK has got stale.

If you don't get that show has got much worse over the years in REAL content, you just don't get it. Sucks.

Lets se here... Season 17 Included Proper tests for the 1M, Maurader, DS3 Racing, 500C Abarth, Clio 200 Cup, Range Rover Evoque, McLaren MP4-12c, XKR-s, 2012 GTR, Nissan Leaf, Peugeot iOn, Lambo Aventador. What your talking is non sense.

 

[Bogie 19th]

When did I ever say they didn't do tests? Maybe you should RE-read what I posted.

 

[Kamuifanboy]

lolololololololololol.

And you also said that it was about "blah blah blah" and you did not include tests in that statement.
