That was the most refreshing reality movie on TV, that I had watched in a long time.
The time before that, would have been Top Gear - Vietnam Special.
Cheers to Top Gear.

One thing i've grown to love with top gear is how funny Clarkson is.. this one is a great episode as it isn't heavily edited.
The end bit is just pure madness!!
Either way, Top Gear is the greatest show on earth. I would kill to hang out with Jeremy Clarkson for a day.

Yep. They had to get thier old, banged up 4WD's off the barge in the Amazon and drive up and through the Andea's.
This one was extremely good, nerve racking and informative entertainment!
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
yea I would have to say that was the best top gear special they have ever done. Clarkson on that incredibly dangerous highway actually had me nervous, and hammonds unnecessary lift kit that ruined his Toyota had me cracking up.
Top gear can do no wrong. There was never a single time where I watched top gear and I wasn't thoroughly entertained. Greatest show on earth.
Oh and btw YouTube "top gear ground force" not a car challenge at all but it's HILARIOUS. It's them trying to design a backyard for an Olympic canoer. All they do is fuck up!

Sadly there are reports of Top Gear finishing. I hope not.
I still like the redneck one from deep south of the States... that one was really funny from start to finish.

nah, I'm sure there are a few people who don't get it/like it/whatever... my wife even watches it and she couldnt give a shit about cars. she just finds it very entertaining.
I shall resurrect my Clarkson thread.
I don't watch much TV but I make a note of when Top Gear is on.
I find The studio shows are entertaining to some extent and you get to know what LOVE these guys HAVE or have HAVE NOT got for one another , so then the way they treat one another during these episodes is friggin funny.
Just mates on a road trip, but going through the best places in the world!!
And not to mention the cars, the cars, the cars. I like cars so it suits me just fine.
How do we get a job like that??
I think the thing is, it's become a bit of a self parody. I'm pretty sure that even in the Bolivia one James even said as much - something along the lines of "If you do what you always do every episode, and run into the back of me...I'll rip your f*cking head off".
It's been running for so long now that I think they've run out of ideas - it's predictable now, Clarkson and Hammond are caricatures, James is however a thoroughly good bloke.

Predictable I think not.
I laugh my head off every time they are being 'Red Necked, politicaly incorrect' in EVERY part of the world......Lighten up people!
The Vietnam one is well worth waiting for. The countryside is some of the best I've ever seen, and the gags the guys play on one another, are, life threatening!!
i doubt theyre as life threatening as theyre made out to be.

I grant you, it's entertaining to a point I just think we've had it now for so long it's run its course.
In my humble opinion of course.

I'm sure since that they've had been even more careful with the stuff they do.
but these blokes are still doing it.
What could the film crew do? if someone started slipping down those slopes?.....not much.
And that is what makes it entertaining.
It is not Survivour!
2. [On the Porsche Boxster] “It couldn’t pull a greased stick out of a pig’s bottom.”
3. [When driving the Mercedes SLR McLaren through a tunnel] “When they debate as to what the sound of the SLR engine was akin to, the British engineers from McLaren said it sounded like a Spitfire. But the German engineers from Mercedes
said ‘Nein! Nein! Sounds like a Messerschmitt!’ They were both wrong. It sounds like the God of Thunder, gargling with nails.”
4. “I’m sorry, but having an Aston Martin DB9 on the drive and not driving it is a bit like having Keira Knightley in your bed and sleeping on the couch. If you’ve got even half a scrotum it’s not going to happen.”
5. “Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary… that’s what gets you.”
6. “Koenigsegg are saying that the CCX is more comfortable. More comfortable than what… being stabbed?”
7. [On Detroit] “God may have created the world in six days, but while he was resting on the seventh, Beelzebub popped up and did this place.”
8. “Owning a TVR in the past was like owning a bear. I mean it was great, until it pulled your head off, which it would.”
9. [On the Renault Clio V6] “I think the problem is that it’s French. It’s a surrendermonkey.”
10. [On the Enzo Ferrari] “I rang up Jay Kay, who’s got one, and said: “Can we borrow yours?” and he said, “Yeah, if I can borrow your daughter, because it amounts to the same thing.”
11. [On the Porsche Cayenne] “I’ve seen gangrenous wounds better looking than this!”
12. “The air conditioning in Lamborghinis used to be an asthmatic sitting in the dashboard blowing at you through a straw.”
13. “Whenever I’m suffering from insomnia, I just look at a picture of a Toyota Camry and I’m straight off.”
14. “If you were to buy a [BMW] 6-series, I recommend you select reverse when leaving friends’ houses so they don’t see its backside.”
15. “That [Pagani] Zonda, really! It’s like a lion in orange dungarees. Kind of fierce, but ridiculous all at the same time.”
16. [On a Chevrolet Corvette] “The Americans lecture the world on democracy and then won’t let me turn the traction control off!”
17. [On the Alfa Romeo
Brera] “Think of it as Angelina Jolie. You’ve heard she’s mad and eats nothing but wallpaper paste. But you would, wouldn’t
you?”
18. “A turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.”
19. “This is a Renault Espace, probably the best of the people carriers. Not that that’s much to shout about. That’s like saying ‘Oh good, I’ve got syphilis, the best of the sexually transmitted diseases!’”
20. “In the olden days I always got the impression that TVR built a car, put it on sale, and then found out how it handled – usually when one of their customers wrote to the factory complaining about how dead he was.”
21. [On the Mercedes CLS55 AMG] “It sounds like Barry White eating wasps.”
22. “I’d rather go to work on my hands and knees than drive there in a Ford Galaxy. Whoever designed the Ford Galaxy upholstery had a cauliflower fixation. I would rather have a vasectomy than buy a Ford Galaxy.”
23. “Usually, a Range Rover would be beaten away from the lights by a diesel powered wheelbarrow.”
24. “Racing cars which have been converted for road use never really work. It’s like making a hardcore adult film, and then editing it so that it can be shown in British hotels. You’d just end up with a sort of half hour close up of some bloke’s sweaty face.”
25. “I don’t understand bus lanes. Why do poor people have to get to places quicker than I do?”
number 25 is my favourite!
so very true. same with falling. unless you fall into a river and drown.

I take it you like Top Gear!.
Bahahahaha my 5yo is hooked on TG. He was watching Richard Hammonds Blast Lab the other day )kids science type show) and they dumped a tonne of water from a crane onto a car and the little fella says to me "Hey mum they smash cars on here just like on Top Gear!" ...oh and Oliver is on Blast Lab too.
I love the Stig intros! Some say he is dead, but the grim reaper is too scared to tell him. All we know is; he’s called The Stig.
seemed a little too forced....or was it just me.
12345 must be rolling over in his bed, watching what they did to that poor mini.
