I personally enjoyed the Bolivian 4x4 special the most but the super car shoutout where they raced at Imola was pretty cool.

I think the Toyota truck episode has  got to be the most memorable.  It really put TG on the map worldwide.

Vietnam motorcycle special was good.

Solid tie between Bolivia & Vietnam. Both of those were simply amazing.

Close second is the Botswana special.

Beach assault was good, but the mall chase was better. But definitely their best review EVER.

I could watch the Bolivia, Bostwana, and Polar specials anytime and still be entertained.  I'll throw the Nile Special in there as well.  Actually, the only big Cheap Car special of theirs that I can't watch is India.

Indeed.





I mean you have:





Middle-East Special


Vietnam Special


Bolivia Special


Botswana Special


Patagonia Special


Going to the North Pole


Reliant Robin spaceship


Top Gear vs. German Top Gear


Hovervan!


The US muscle car "non-entertaining" trip


The US "you boys wanna get killed?" trip


Car vs train to Italy


Car vs train in Japan


Beach Landing


Top Gear Fuzz


Amphibious cars 1 & 2


The Hilux


May setting the record in the Veyron


The Jaguar 50th anniversary episode
And those are just the ones off the top of my head, there are far too many to pick the best episode of the best show...in the world.

The Toyota pickup one is by far the most important episode, it put Top Gear on the map.  The Botswana and Vietnam trips were better episodes as a whole, but they might never have happened without the success of the earlier ones.

Diesel A8 from London to Edinburgh and back to London on one tank.

It was the first Top Gear episode that had me at the edge of my seat.

Based on the ones I've seen, I'd have to say the episode in which the Enzo was first tested.

I'm still not sure if Clarkson was trolling the BBC news crew in that episode or if it was staged.

Equally possible, IMO.

The winching starts at around 4:20... had me rolling.

I enjoyed when they compared an E63 AMG VS a M5 at an airport, two cars I really like, and driven like you've never seen them driven.

Also his review on the F430 was fun to watch also.

They had the episode on when they were trying to test 3 exotics through a dead city, with empty apartments and airport.

The daihatsu terios fox hunt. Just Clarkson's attempting to drive whilst reading a map "Perilously close to Wales now, perilously close" "Here be witches".

Botswana  and Bolivia  are close but the G & T Express is classic. Actually thinking about it I would put Vietnam 2nd.

I'm looking forward to the new show, but I'm also nervous. I hope it's good
