The location specials are usually very good (Polar, Vietnam, Africa).
Retro challenges would be next best.

I liked the one where they went to Alabama. Red necks wanted to kill them

Jeremy Clarkson ruins that show for me. He is a complete tosser IMO

My favourite special is the Botswana special. The love between Hammond & 'Oliver' is classic.

As mentioned before, the specials are usually best followed by the older car challenges.
The "Second hand supercar for less than a Ford Mondeo" was probably my favourite of these.

Of the races, the previously mentioned race across London was my favourite, with the fuel consumption race to Blackpool a close second.

The very latest episode is a new 2-part Africa special.

Their task is to find the source of Nile in sub 1500 pound station wagons.

Jermemy - BMW
Hammond - Subaru (best choice)
May - Volvo

Starts off in Uganda. Not bad.

the latest series 19 (might have been last series) where they drive through italy

Jeremey in an Lamborghini Aventador (MY DREAM CAR)
James in a MCLaren
Hammond in the Noble 600

that was a good episode, where they test drive their cars on a track in italy, and reach speeds of 330kph.

I'm mostly interested in the track times various cars achieve, though some of the games the guys play are amusing.

watching the first part of the africa special, and the lads checking out the hotel (dump) that they were going to stay in, and jeremy pulling back the bed sheets and seeing the old blood stains on the matteress. Disgusting :vom:
