Best Top Gear Moment....

This is my favorite show. I have watched every single episode and special twice over. Never seems to get old. This has probably been posted here before, but this is one of my favs. Double decker racing (S11 EP 6). The driver sitting in the VW on the roof of the W124 is doing the steering. They took the steering wheel out of the Benz, looks like fun. The Germans ended up winning! I was surprised to see how well the 124 handled the extra weight on the roof!

What's your favorite top gear moment?

I like pretty much all the top gear moments involving James May. He's very amusing. Also, I enjoy when they do the cheap car challenges of various sorts. All good stuff, indeed.

I love Top Gear as well. Tons of great moments, but one of the best has to be this race -

Just epic.

Man I feel like every episode is another "best" moment. I think Top Gear is my favorite all-time show. I think the Deep South special was probably my top episode, followed by the bolivian special and the homemade electric car episodes. Honestly I just boot up my media PC, and put the TG playlist on shuffle and watch whatever comes on from any of the 14 seasons.

A lot of us have diesels, and I found the "diesel race" amusing! They were racing, but could not floor it

The south Africa episode was nice too, and so were the older ones (Top Gear Toyota Aygo Football) when they came out.

The Jay Leno interview was great, particularly the story about giving the drug dealers a ride in his McLaren.

I just saw the trans Bolivia cheap 4X4 challenge. They do some really stupid things, but it was entertaining.
