Good question!

Caravan one had me in stiches first time I watched it.
America road trip and Afirca road trip both classics but have to agree the boat race was superb.

Agreed! The bit where Clarkson pulled up in the stretch panda with "2001 A Space Odyssey" music playing had me in stitches.....and then May with the twin steering alfa and "Knight Rider" theme!!!

I think the best was the north pole one though. Amazing to do that.

I think the show has lost its way a bit now though. Needs a format change. Its just Sooooooooo predictable and the races are bollocks.

Gota be the one where Jezza goes to Nurburgring in the jag Diesel, even when I watch it now, it makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck

Thats why I went to Nurburgring to have a blast round the circuit, and bonus was that they where filming Sabine in the Transit that weekend too, brilliant experience

Dampervan episode for me, when the toyboata rolls over at the end is just pure class. also when May's herald starts and starts to drive up the slip way. The north pole episode was also a great in that it was an amazing achievement to get there in a vehicle.

Agreed, was going to mention the BMW racing one too, was strangely emotive. Very good episode and a change from the 'funny' ones.

Artic one for me too.


I got sent all the artwork for it a couple of months before it was shown, cause we supplied the trucks for it, and was properly looking forward to seeing it properly on the program, and it didnt dissapoint, the filmwork was absolutely awesome.
