    Default For BBC2 TOP GEAR fans

    For those of us that have to see every episode of Top Gear, i started to wonder what most people thought were the best and worst segments on top gear.

    Best for me
    1. Cheap car challanges: Vans, BL cars, American cars, Africa cars
    2. Races: car vs train, boat, bus plane
    3. Motoring Holiday: Stellvio pass, America, Africa, North Pole
    4. Power laps: Zonda, CCX,
    5. Brit Car 24: all of it
    6. The news

    Worst
    Mostly stuff from the older days like
    will it jump over: bus, limo, etc
    things thatr really have no relavense: nun in a monster truck

    overall they've really gotten much better but what makes the show to you?

    I've pretty much enjoyed every part of the current season. except for the part of the show where they interview a famous person and put them in a crap car on the track, I awlays skip that part except for the time when Lewis Hamilton was on it.

    yes, I thoroughly enjoyed the cheap car test when they bought some classic brittish cars and tested them at a car test facility. complete with doors falling off, among other things. it was season 10 episode 7 btw.

    African STIG FTW! I think my favorite episode was the one where they were trying to find the best driving road in the world. That road they found in Switzerland, was inspiring. Then they showed that picture of a guys Gallardo, all busted up at the bottom of one of those ravines, classic.
