Top Gear Top Picks

Last week Andrea, Traci, and Barb came to drop off Sharla’s new car and hang around for a bit. I lent Andrea some how I met your mother dvds to give her and traci something to watch when bored, and during our bored time Andrea and I watched the Top Gear Vietnam, Botswana and Lorry challenges. This lead to me thinking, what would the best “must see” top gear episodes be to recommend newcomers watch.

First and most obvious are the Vietnam, and Botswana challenges.

After that what comes to mind are the “Best Road in the World” vacation, and the second “Turn cars into boats” challenge.

Which other memorable episodes am I missing?

(I am by no means saying that what I’ve listed are the only good top gear episodes).

    The Vietnam challenge is by far the best! I also enjoyed the Olympics episode and the one where they made their own race car.

    I also like the one where Jeremy drives an SUV that looks like a fox and the hounds hunt him down. And the one where they make stretch Limos and drive celebrates to an awards show. :)
