The ‘Vietnam Special’ was great.
Awesome list completely satisfied with most part
Great list! I love this site and visit it almost daily to help me choose which episode to watch for the forty-second time. Where is the Google+ button so I can easily post your articles for my friends to see?!
Thanks for your support!
Great list. Started watching Top Gear recently this year and have been loving it, and after watching the top ten you just listed, I have to admit, the vietnam special was pretty amazing. It was like pure-extract Top Gear.
Great list but there is one episode I would suggest you revisit for consideration.
Season 12 episode 1
my absolute favorite is the caravan holiday one season 8 number 6 very funny thats for sure
Great list have seen them all! James May is really funny
Vietnam was my absolute favorite. This list is pretty spot on. I agree with Dlbass, I come here to figure out which episode to watch… again.
The Car Trains film has to be added to this list now. My personal favourite. An absolute classic!
I thought that the episode where they drive 3 British convertible sports cars through the midlands would make this list. A very good one though, always tough to name a favorite, same with music. The ones listed are some of my favorites as well.
I mostly agree with the list, but also strongly disagree with a few places. The American roadtrip definitely isn’t 3rd for me, maybe somewhere between 10-20, while the motor home challenge doesn’t make it into top 20.
The British Leyland challenge would deserve a place in top 5, Romanian roadtrip could be in top 10, and the convertible people carrier challenge in top 20.
>best top gear episode ever
>doesn’t even have cars in it
