Keep it Top Gear!
We'd like to keep discussions top gear related, in all
forms. Be it TV show(s), magazines or websites.
p.s. Top Gear is a long running show. We appreciate that
the version from 2002 with Clarkson, Hammond and May
is the most popular, but many subscribers are fed up with
seeing endless posts and comments asking for the current
hosts to be replaced. So please keep this in mind when
posting.
Next TopGear Episode: March 4, 2018

with the special DVDs back in the day there would be a b side of commentary usually done by james and wilman. I believe there is one for every special
The middle east one was on youtube for a while but has now dissapeared. wondered if anyone had a magnet to any of them else i'll crawl through my garage and do it myself.
My vote goes to Richard Whiteley. His story about getting his Jaguar nicked, the Countdown game, and what a genuinely great sport he was - and of course setting the slowest lap time ever in the Liana. Just ace.
Any UK residents have a "greatest hits" or a summary of tguk things that caused outrage in the papers?
What was it he found anyone know?!
First I had no idea that both her (and Ken Block) had passed away which sucks but it was really nice that given everything that went on they brought back Clarkson, Hammond and May etc... for the tribute episode to talk about her.
Botswana Special, I think Clarkson's car may have spent more time disintegrating than being driven.
Vietnam Special, A toss up between May's slow Honda and Clarkson's Vespa that seemed to constantly break down.
Bolivia: Hammond's Toyota that didnt even survive the entire trip and whose starter motor was not working at the start.
Middle East Special: Another toss up between May's BMW which broke down very early on and May's Mazda which developed a lot of issues
India Special, I'm not sure about this one, I don't recall any of the cars seeming to having any major issues apart from the AC not working on two of them.
Africa special, Another toss up. May's Volvo was probably the least suited. But Clarkson's BMW broke down more and Hammond's Subaru had a major failure near the end.
Beach Buggy Boys, May's Buggy was underpowered but Clarkson's Buggy had a lot of issues with it's radiator.
Feed the world, Hammond's underpowered motorcycle that completely failed the task.
Columbia special, Hammond's one wheeled Trump truck.
Seamen, May's boat was technically worse but I think Hammond's boat broke down more
A massive Hunt, Hammond's car which was the only car to not even finish
Eurocrash, May's crosley which was slow and dangerous and a rare use of the backup car.
Just finished watching the 750 mile race from Basel to Blackpool on one tank of fuel.
Everytime I watch it I’m utterly staggered that Jaguar made it, no way it did it with 120miles of range apparently still available to do (according to Clarkson) A big twin turbo v6 doing that range is unheard of, surely it was not right?

Can't for the life of me find it, but I know I've seen a video of Jeremy driving it while I think comparing it to another car. I know it exists but I can't find it anywhere.
Anyone else in the US no longer have access to top gear on tubi?
I have a vague memory of a star in a reasonably priced car where they were telling Jeremy of an interview they hosted. They asked their guest a question and the guest took a really long time to answer saying thing like "hmmm that's a good question" and repeating the question to themselves before eventually slowly answering "yeahh". Really bugging me who the star was and who their guest was. I can't even think of the question they asked. I know it's not a lot to go on but any input might help me sleep at night.
What other episodes and stuff like this are there that aren’t included in the regular seasons
