Top Gear special....

Very good, but why was Clarkson so surprised when he broke the truck? He was driving it like a maniac and landed it on a solid lump of ice! And did the hamster ever make it? They ended the show without actually saying if he made, and if so, how long after the others he got there!

Absolutely the best program I've seen in ages and definitely the best Top Gear ever!

 

I can't begin to comprehend how difficult that was. I went skiing in January and was absolutely frozen solid after an hour at -20C. They coped with much colder temperatures for days on end and still managed to film an entertaining programme :D

I really enjoyed this. I sat there and laughed the WHOLE way through. Jeremy is a big kid and did everything I would have done (almost).

 

If in doubt:

a) drink

b) have a shit

c) put your foot down

 

and if all else fails, get some icelanders and a chainsaw

 

As far as I am concerned it's a recipe for life we should all be following.

 

Going for a pint and a shit now.....if you hear a chainsaw then something has gone horribly wrong :)

I think the bit where Hammand goes all serious when he talks to the camera about the death of seals thanks to Polar bears was brilliant (Not the death of Seals). And then starts to pick up the remains of the poor creatures Jaw bone to show the camera!

Of late I have been not really impressed too much by Top Gear, but last night's episode was great. if nothing else what an advert for the new hilux. They have always been great though. Owned a couple in my time but nothing like the beast they were in last night. Last night's programe reminded me of this:

I paid cash for it in Nairobi and drove it up to Southern Sudan. It wasn't the cold that caused problems then though it was the heat! Bit of an adventure, but the only thing that went wrong with the vehicle was a leak from the power steering pump.

 

I couldnt help but wonder though just how much Clarkson played in the fixing of the toyota after he almost trashed it. The shot of him standing there with a breaker bar or ratchet in one hand and the shagged shock in the other, I coudn't help thinking was a bit stage managed. Good episode all the same.
