What's your favorite Top Gear segment?

>>15938056
Roadtrips, challenges, etc.

>>15938056
Budget challenges

Budget cars were always a goof and a laugh
I hope the grand tour does more of those

>>15938056
Everything roadtrip related, especially stuff like the economy race to Blackpool or the Car vs Public Transport races (SLR vs Boat to Oslo; GTR vs Train in Japan; GT500 vs Train in France; etc)

But to be fair, everything apart from star in a reasonably priced car was really good.

>literally the segment 99% of people skips

>>15938056
Bolivia
Or any of the Africa's

>>15938056

this.
Even the sportscars reviews got boring after a while despite the holliwood tier production value and camera work

Honestly best were roadtrip challenges especially if they were with second hand cars

>No petrol head friends for road trips

Bolivia. I still can't comprehend how they managed to stuff so many events into the Bolivia episode and then require two episodes for doing basically nothing in Patagonia apart from driving over dirt roads for a very long time.

>>15938056
>tfw they removed nearly every season from netflix

I enjoyed the shitbox challenges until it became painfully obvious that it was all scripted, especially in the last two seasons. They added way too much slapstick and it took away from the cars.

One thing they massively improved on was the ride along reviews, that became my favorite part once the show focused more on entertainment. The holy trinity reviews were beautifully shot and edited IMO.

https://youtu.be/v5f47TfKzSg?t=83

>>15938485
This.

There are like 3 interviews in the entire fucking however many years of episodes i've watched that i actually cared about, the rest are just a waste of mine and everyone elses time.

The roadtrips are sweet, especially when they're harsh and doing shit other people don't. I really want to see them do a roadtrip right across the middle of australia with 3x $5,000 4x4s. I want to see hammond all smug again like the africa trip with a 22R hilux watching the other 2 struggle while just cruising

>>15940321
Hammonds porsche review was fucking incredible.

I'm convinced they managed to duct tape a $20k+ camera to the front of that car to get the through-windscreen shots.

>>15938056
When they did commie cars and actually liked one of them.

>>15940337
Yeah, I loved the new angles they were getting, and the HD quality alone made those segments stand out a lot more.

Lots of good editing and shots in the La Ferrari review, too.

Also, the Dacia Sandero.

>>15941288
I remember that one interview they all agreed that if one of them ever died on the show, which was always a possibility, they would simply say something along the lines of
"We're sorry to say that in the making of that clip, Jeremy Clarkson had a crash, and was killed."
"...Now then, moving on to the new Aston Martin..."

>>15941387
They've already done that joke a million times, I want to see them sent off in a storm of the absolute finest bantz mankind has ever seen

Shame we don't have them in the UK anymore.

>>15938105
They're getting old, I reckon we're going to see less budget stuff. That being said, I wonder what they would come up with given a cheap car, a challenge, and an entire staffed workshop to work with without trying to make it believable they did the modifications.

>>15941387
They agreed that after the announcing any death, the very next word would be "Anyway,"
I can't find the interview, all ther esults I get are for the man's dismissal.

>>15940448

>>15941111
Jezza rolling up in his car and explaining it's nuisances is the second hardest I've laughed at Top Gear. The first is the Geoff/Hammerhead Eagle iThrust episode.

Definitely one of my favorites is where they basically pretended to be retarded Peugeot drivers

this one isn't the full thing, and honestly it leaves out the best part with Jame's first accident

The James car for the elderly RIP Tiddles

>>15941603
It was said on air in the very episode after hammond's crash

>t. Someone who watched every single tg episode 4+ times (Ask me about zero punctuation, I've watched every episode 10 times)

Anyone caught the Late Late Show thing they were into?
It popped up on my recommended tab on youtube

Watching it made me realize how much I missed them, and how fucking old and red they were in it

>That one episode where they build a car for the elderly
>Something breaks, Clarkson and Hammond go to find tools

I'm afraid not mate, it's called the VAZ-21215.
The Lada Niva Diesel is a four wheel drive off-road vehicle motor car with a front mounted engine, sold by VAZ.
The VAZ Lada Niva Diesel's engine is a naturally aspirated diesel, 1.9 litre, single overhead camshaft 4 cylinder with 2 valves per cylinder. In this application it produces 58 bhp (59 PS/43 kW) of power at 4600 rpm, and maximum torque of 114 N·m (84 lb·ft/11.6 kgm) at 2070 rpm.
The engine supplies its power through to the wheels via a 5 speed manual gearbox.
Stated kerb weight is 1190 kg.
It is said to be able to manage a top speed of 125 km/h (78 mph).

I always looked forward to Star in a Resoably Priced Car.
Especially hen it was American Actors, it's nice to know which movie to download once it's being torrented.
It was also a nice change to see glamourous Americans on British TV, we dont usually see many good looking people on the BBC.

The rest of the sow was just 3 guys fooling around in cars making an idiot of themselves or arty farty'lly shot reviews of cars which quite frankly are tacky, over powered, unpractical, over priced and way too flashy for ordinary folks to delude themselves they'll ever be able to drive one.
