The Driving to the North Pole one was fantastic - if you guys haven't seen that then get it on the Net, it's a classic.

While I like pretty much all their episodes, the America and North Pole specials were both classic.

This episode is my kids favorite. The eldest, especially, thought it was really funny. The little lad likes it when Clarkson pulls into camp with a cow on the roof but I enjoyed the Alabama experience. Amazed they made it without physical harm - but then I'm never quite sure how staged some of it is.

The North Pole one had me in stitches when they cracked out the Gin & Tonic. That was classic.
I also love all of the challenges. Stretch limo, amphibious car, 10k italian supercar. Just fantastic. Just the other night, they had a second amphibious challenge, where they tried to cross the english channel. I won't give away the ending, but it's worth seeing. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

NASCAR Sucks on the back of the pimpmobile in Alabama was awesome. I was really surprised they didn't get a beatdown for that.

How about the woman that wanted to sue them for mis-representing the free car they gave her?

A classic - Loved the "fat" stig.
yes, they were lucky to come out alive in Alabama. Loved the Nascar sucks on the pimp mobile. Hammond was classic with the pink writing and the cowboy hat. To those that have driven a car in Florida without AC - brutal is not quite the word.

I've got a couple of years of TG downloaded onto my computer, and I've been watching the episodes that are playing on BBC America. I love the full, uncut, UK version much, much more than the edited version that they were playing over here a year or so ago.
In a world full of PC crap, I love that TG is anything but PC. I guess that's one of the reasons why I love "House" and "Anthony Bourdain's - No Reservations".

I love last season's space shuttle build, and especially launch. I have seen every episode too many times, but that is their moment. Although their first supercar review is also pretty nice, Murcielago V Zonda

Perhaps I missed it, but it seemed that they edited out Jeremeys rant about Americans love for cheese and how they put cheese on everything, that I enjoyed so much on the Youtube version. There were several cheese references later, but I think they cut out the funny and most biting rant.
