    Didn't enjoy it to be honest. I can usually forgive the formulaic approach because the cars are generally more interesting than the usual bunch of super/hyper-cars favoured by TG. But a bunch of scooters?

    That was one of the worst episodes they've ever done, redeemed only by the scenery.

    How come the bikes couldn't do 800k in 10 days? Surely you'd only need <20 hours to actually travel it:confused:
    It was blatently and poorly scripted and contained nothing new, only re-hashes of stuff they've done previously.

    I thought it was an excellent episode, very enjoyable.

    Saw it last night and I didn't really enjoy it either, for pretty much the same reason. And the "stuff" they did to each other was more childish than anything else I can remember from TG. C'mon, paint the bike pink :rolleyes:

    Having been in Vietnam myself I enjoyed the episode, but it was ridiculously over-scripted.

    If you saw this on Dave you missed a lot as the BBC version was around 1h 20mins. Watched it with friends recently and Dave cut the s**t out of it. They even cut the bit where Clarkson crashed! OK its a formula we all know by now but its a must watch for TG fans in uncut format.

    I thought it was one of the funniest ones I ever seen. I say that about every espisode though. Loved seen clarkson fall off the bike.
