    I know it is a pretty difficult feat to narrow it down, but I'll give it a shot :pac:

    In no particular order
    • Jezza's Toybota capsizing
    • Richard getting hypnotised
    • Richard's return
    • Richard vomiting over the boat in the London to Oslo race
    • Jezza losing his voice (peace at last :p)
    • James 'graceful' arrival at the finishing point in the Nam Special
    • V8 Smoothie
    • The Hilux
    • RIchard talking to the deaf man on the beach in Nam.
    What about ye?!:)

    The Stig during the London race staring at the ringing mobile phone for about a minute before just walking away. Priceless.

    Plus the entire America trip

    If I may just make it clear, those were just SOME of my favourite moments....

    If I listed all of them, I might wear out my keys.

    That was just a random selection.

    Another few moments.... (Yes, I am bored)
    • Oliver sinking
    • James -"Hello"
    • Terry Wogan's interview and lap
    • James overtaking Jezza on the second African trip
    • The Convertible Espace in the safari park.

    I will more than likely add more.
    Like I said, Im bored...:o

    I think the best episodes have to be

    • The tour across America
    • North Pole

    And I think the best Stunts are

    • Evo v Bobsled
    • Reliant Robin Rocket!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,651 ✭✭✭Captain Slow IRL


    One last one before I fall asleep!

    Watching Clarkson trying to get that old rover up the hill at the Transport Research Laboratory test track during the British Leyland challenge was pant wetting stuff! The cheap car challenge where 3 cars were bought for under £100 and then had to be driven at 30mph into walls was a memorable one too.

    It has to be when the lads were doing the lap with their cars filled with water.

    Jeremy was driving for two seconds and his bandy door fell off and all the water poured out, priceless.

    I love the challenges. Some of my favorite things are...
    • The caravan catching fire. I had tears streaming down my face because I was laughing so hard.
    • The trip to America. The reaction to The Stig's American cousin was great.
    • The trip across Africa.
    • The trip to Vietnam.
    • The race across London.

    I like all those, but I thought the Vietnam one was a little crap :o

    I think it was their reactions to the landscape, not to mention Clarkson's annoyance at being stuck on a bike.

    I thought this was favourite moments. Not favourite episodes. Anyhoo,

    James offering jezza a Gin and Tonic while driving on international waters - North Pole Trip
    Jezza's reaction when he found out they were going to travel around vietnam on a bike. - Vietnam trip
    Richard being hypnotised
    Jezza arriving with the cow on his roof for them to eat - America episode
    James being pulled over during the london race "Crikey its the rozzers!".
    The three lads arriving to compete against their german counter-parts in spitfires to the music of the Battle of Britain.
    Crossing the channel and making it to spain in Jezza's toy-boat-a
    James' yacht/car breaking its mast on a bridge and later sinking
