Well if people vote for it, it’ll be in the list. Maybe next time, eh?

Great list. However I Think this shows that Top Gear is alot more then just the Three hosts. It has an Amazing production team as well. So I really do hope Top Gear continues with our fav hosts and the excellent team behind them.

I also wonder what song is it that you use in the video above? Please tell me. 🙂

It is “No Cars Go” by Arcade Fire. It was used on Top Gear for the opening / preview montage for Series 10.

I was wondering, do you know the song title on the series 12 montage by any chance? I’ve been looking everywhere for ages and found nothing :/

Indeed I do – it is “Grounds for Divorce” by Elbow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxczVhG0os8

you have got an app for that, called Shazam. just open it and it will detect the song with your phone’s mic.

the guy with no name March 19, 2015 at 2:08 pm

Cool, I didn’t know about that.

I believe you forgot the Reliant Robin Space Shuttle. That was EPIC. Should be included in this collection or a separate “Ambitious, But Rubbish” collection.

Not forgotten – just didn’t make the Top 10 unfortunately. From memory it was down around 25th place. Much better than the 55th place it achieved in our Top 100 list last year. https://www.topgearbox.com/entertainment/top-gear/2014-top-100-top-gear-episodes-list-pt-1/

Yes Indeed David. The Reliant Robin Space Shuttle episode was the moment the show went from a super show about cars to a hyper show about cars! Anytime I see the re-run I still hope that damn connection bolt would explode so the Robin could truly fly( well fall with style) to the ground.

Not bad, though I expected the Vietnam special and the Africa special to be in the top 5. I also expected the Bolivia special make the list.

Reply
Sean McKellar March 16, 2015 at 8:12 pm

I expected it too, but I can’t argue with 5 years worth of votes!

I have nothing against the voters. I just expected different results.
