Any of the specials or challenges could be mentioned here really. The last one in Bolivia was brilliant, especially Hammonds reaction to the snakes and insects in his car. The one across the southern states in the US was great once they got to tag each others cars, "Hillary Clinton for president" and "NASCAR is rubbish". The Polar challenge was great, just because Jeremy and James actually managed to make it to the North Pole with the car in one piece.

My favourite though was probably the Vietnam one, the scenery looked amazing and the way they ended up with statues, paintings and a boat tied to the back of scooters was hilarious. The back up bike too would have been brilliant had it been used, "Born in the USA" blaring from it!

This nearly ruined it for me. It is typical of the contrived jokes that have been creeping into Top Gear more and more lately. Hammond pretending to be scared of insects was embarrassing, something they put in to appeal to a different demographic of viewer no doubt.

Anyone ever see the episode of "have I get news for you" hosted by clarkson.

Its refereshing to note that he has no anti Irish Bias. He gives Ireland the same jingostic treatment that he gives the French, Germans etc.
(he had a go at Ed byrne about bombs for anyone that did'nt see it)

Would have to say the one in the Southern states of America was brilliant. Did they not have stuff like Hilary for President and Gay rights forever painted on the side of their cars?

Spot on Nocky, Hammond is really getting on my wick. He always acts the same in every episode, playing the kinda village idiot role, its pathetic. As I stated earlier the show is edited very well to add to the humour.
