Why hasn't anybody already posted a thread about this? It's obviously the best TV programme ever...

I've added a poll so you can vote for your favourite episode... I haven't included them al, so if anybody else thinks of some good ones I'll add them...

My favourite episode was last Sunday's with the caravan... completely hilarious...

And just for thoe people who do not know what Top Gear is, it's this car show thingy... although if you didn't know what it was I can't think why you would even be on this thread...

I have to agree with you there, the caravan holiday was just brilliant! I had to pick myself up off the floor with laughter when the torched the thing :P The episiode with the convertable people carriers was also very funny, esp when the car wash caught fire, and comes a close seccond place.

But what about the one for next week? That could be even better!

Apparently next week they build their own Caterham's... should be interesting...

Yeh defantly agree with you both, After the long awaited return of top gear after the world cup It has to be sundays episode, trying there hand at camping. What made it even more spectacular was the fact that you could tell james may was just getting more and more angry and wound up as the trip proggressed.

I did also think the winter olymics special was quite good but wasnt as funny.

I think a close second for me would have to be the episode of making amphibion vheicals. Absolute comady and clarksons attempt at interior designing a tradional english interior of a car. LOL genius.

One of the best bits of the caravan episode:

Jeremy: "It's on fire, get everything out!"

Hammond: "I've got a potato!"

Lol yeh!

Best show around, didnt stop laughing during the The caravan holiday episode. All episodes are good and i loved the winter olymics one

And, the one where they had to build a boat on a car and tested it on the resevroir (sp?). Loved that one!

Sunday night, 8pm, BBC Two. This week, Steve Coogan returns in the reasonably priced car, Jeremy drives a Lambo and all three boys have a go at building a kit car... in eight hours. Here are the full behind-the-scenes details:


People carriers
The show kicks off with people carriers, but that isn't necessarily your cue to switch off. Vauxhall's Zafria, Mercedes' B-class and Ford's new S-Max are all trying to put the fun back into driving - and James and Richard were keen to see whether it's all just marketing waffle. The only way to find out - naturally - is to thrash them round the track, leaving Jeremy to look at the boring practicality stuff back in the studio.


And now the sensible stuff is out of the way...
After all that practical family car stuff, Jeremy needed an antidote - cue the Lamborghini Gallardo. OK, the seats squeak a bit and the steering wheel appears to be covered in a bath mat, but with a 5.0-litre engine belching out 512bhp it certainly goes some.


In the news...
The boys decided that folding metal roofs are a bad idea - especially when people think they have enough time to drop it down at traffic lights, when they clearly don't.

New cars unveiled this week at the British motor show included the Chrysler Sebring and the Land Rover Freelander 2. Talking of Land Rover, Richard has just bought himself a limited edition one in yellow and had a little accident with the touch-up paint pot...

Nissan, meanwhile, has unveiled yet another special version of the Micra C+C, this time designed by Sebastian Conran, when will it end?


Star in a reasonably priced car...
This week's star in a reasonably priced car is actor and all-round funny man Steve Coogan, who has come back to beat the 1.53 he clocked in the Liana. That, and to beat the time set by buddy Rob Brydon in the Chevrolet Lacetti.


Parkour what?
Nothing to do with dodgy anoraks, this one. It's a French sport which involves lots of running and jumping - and from some pretty spectacular heights (we call it free running). Top Gear thought this would be a good idea for a race - and that James was the bloke to do it (although obviously not the running part). Our Captain Slow jumped in Peugoet's new 207 and is leaving the energetic stuff to two teenagers who know what they're doing.


Caterham chaos...
Even the Stig's tiny brain is tired of constant Top Gear track lapping, so we decided to let him out on public roads. Some said this was a bad idea and that the Stig wouldn't survive outside his usual habitat, but it was such a good excuse to have a race nobody really questioned it.

The Stig set off from Caterham's factory in Surrey and headed for the Knock Hill circuit outside Edinburgh. Meanwhile the lads, who were already at Knock Hill, had 8 hours to build a Caterham kit car from scratch then drive it over the start line before the Stig. Simple, eh?

Wow that sounds great, altough my favourite all time thing in the caravan episiode has to be "Jeremy's secret Weapon" Which is an AK47 for when he sleeps in a caravan with James May.

It pisses all over Channel Five's Fifth Gear though, which I think has been axed?

The caravan episode draws very close to the funniest thing i have ever seen on TV, which was a My Family episode.

It pisses all over Channel Five's Fifth Gear though, which I think has been axed?

Fifth Gear is still on TV a the moment, but how long it will last is anyones guess. It's just so boring compared to Top Gear.

I can't wait to see what they get up to this evening on Top Gear
