The Best Top Gear Clip?

sirdaft1 · 02-29-2016, 09:44 PM

As the old era of TG is behind us, I think back on it and believe that this clip was Top Gear and Clarkson at their finest. None of the over produced over reacting found in some of the later seasons. Just a very raw Clarkson saying "wonderful, wonderful, wonderful" and then going silent as the sound of the beautiful V12 revs, padded by some stunning background music. Perfectly done.

And I think it solidified my desire to one day own an AM V12 Vantage.

Indeed, this was very beautiful. Very much so looking forward to the new series with the trio on Amazon Prime.

Makes me miss Vietnam. It's a beautiful country and it's so cheap too.

the Blue Ridge Parkway episode was nice too. I lived about 45 minutes from where they filmed that episode...

My favorite is the Royal Robin that JC kept rolling over

Hamster's drag race between the Veyron and the Eurofighter Typhoon always puts the hairs up on the back of my neck.

Season 10 episode 9 - 24 hour racing challenge in the 335d. made me want to go out and buy one, so I did.

The Vietnam Episode ranks up there for its beauty and a simple journey.

Albanian Mafia.

The performance of the Bentley Mulsanne was disgraceful.

God I remember when I first saw that episode I sat there and thought "how in the hell did they manage to rip up on the BRP????", then they cut to it and I was cracking up.

I've been watching alot of TG reruns until their new show comes out. I think Series 10 is my all time favourite group of episodes. It had so many great bits - lightweight super cars and the hunt for the best driving road, amphibious car challenge II, Peel P50, Botswana Special, British Leyland challenge, Brit Car Challenge..

My favourite clip is a three-way tie between the original Amphibious Car Challenge, Trip to the North Pole, and South Africa Special.
