Just recently got into the show and am absolutely hooked... I think I have them all on the DVR now, what episodes should I seek out?

My two favs thus far:

Train Episode
Old People Vehicle

The one where they drive through the South is money. "Nascar Sucks" "Vote for Hillary"



I really like the Specials too, like Vietnam on 2-wheels. 4x4 in Bolivia, driving in BFE Africa.

Of course the track and the star in a reonably priced car segments are great too.
Also they get all kinds of top cars. Hammond all out in a Veyron.
I also like the Episode where they drove around in the West (US) and actually all liked their American cars. (A first)
"After driving through America, we understand why big and fast means so much"


ETA also Cambodia or Burma when they are driving on those 12 lane highways with no other car in sight, that was wild.

The one where they try to build and market the world's smallest car had me in tears.

The Peel P50. That's the hardest I've laughed watching this show.

Is that were Clarkson is riding through BBC studios and goes to the diversity meeting?

The one where Clarkson continuously flips the Reliant Robin.

Yes. When he had to switch from electric to gas engine in the Library still makes me chuckle thinking about it.

I think I read that the guys have admitted there isn't much left in regards to the show. I think they have admitted there are only a few, if that many, seasons left in them.

That is sad


I cannot wait to see the Stig to the P1 vs the Porsche 983... It should be happening right about now.

Another one I just thought about... The best Caravaning car... May and Clarkson going to the hardware store, buying shite, then taking it to the recycling place

Then Stig wrecking the car and them throwing him in the bin.

I've been hooked on this show for awhile now. It's hilarious.

My favorite is where they try to turn a Reliant Robin into a rocketship and send it into space.

Bolivia Special might be my favorite, but all of the specials are great.

One of their funniest bits was testing 3 communist cars and deciding whether any of them were any good.

***SPOILER***


















They aren't

I know people always say the classics are the best, but I really enjoyed what they did this season.

Chernobyl
80's Hatchbacks
Burma


I'm assuming there is a second part to the season? They talked about the Stig getting the P1 vs Porsche 983 in a few months...
