cryptoprocta Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) My personal favorites are the "drive across Africa (with substitute Stig)," and "caravan holiday." EDITED TO ADD: UBER Hottie Sabine Schmidt passing crotch rockets and Porches whilst piloting a transit van around the Nurburgring. How could I have forgotten that!?!

bigbrowndog Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Not an episode but the part that made me chuckle the most was when they raced against the German equivalent of Top Gear and showed up in SPITFIRES. Actually that whole episode had its moments, like when the guys arm came off while driving, and he kept getting hit by it when he turned the wheel.

-JQ- Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 My favorite was when the short guy (name?) got to drive a formula 1 car. He had to work up to it and even the lessor Formula cars were very very difficult to drive. The F1 car was almost impossible for him it seemed. I forgot which team car he drove but it was the winning car. The look on the team's faces was very telling. I would love to give that a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AggieMM Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I still love the review of the M5. While pushing the 'M button' on the steering wheel, "the most annoying car in the world, <pushes the button> the most amazing car in the world" Go to 3:12 in the video, where he finds the button...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r19tm-IDvHg Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthMuffin Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 My favorite was also the drive across Africa. Second favorite was probably the one where they were trying to prove '70's brittish cars weren't POSs and they each bought one to compete against a 70's Datsun.

h2osport Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Watching the Bugati go 253mph was cooool. The show just cracks me up. Gotta love British humor! Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 An episode I saw recently where they were testing semi-tractors was hilarious. That was great. The guy hauling the car lost it out the back of his trailer and didn't notice it was gone. Said it must have been stolen. That episode was a toss up with the one where they couldn't get a visa to film in the United States because they were entertaining. Therefore they had to not be entertaining to stay legal with the State Department. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff686 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) I thought their funniest episode was the Miami to New Orleans vacation. They each bought a car in Miami (which was funny, considering the locals and all that), then had to drive them on a road trip to New Orleans and then sell them for no financial loss. At one point they were permitted to 'paint' each other's cars in an attempt to impede their progress. At their first gasoline stop in Alabama, they were attacked by the locals and chased by a load of guys in pickup trucks.

Peniston Oils on one side and Larsen Biscuits on the other....Open the doors and one says Penis and the other says Arse...lol I'm curious how amused the Saleen team was when Hammond tore off the right side of their car with his Penis? Poor little Hammond felt terrible. I have to say I have yet to see an episode that I have not both drooled and laughed during. Hmmm... kinda like good sex eh?

boz1911 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The first episode I watched was the one where all three built limosines and had to carry celebs to an event. The superstretch that broke in half had me rolling on the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
