Anybody else watch this?
One of my favorites.
The Lotus Exige vs the Apache is one of the more memorable moments of the show. That and the caravan trip!

I'm a great fan of this show. My favourite episode was the one when they raced a sports car against an airplane and trains in a race to a Swiss town. That was very memorable. :P

It's an awesome show. I rember when all three went out and got cheap used cars to see which could buy the best one and then they crashed them into a wall at the end to see which one was safest. With them behind the wheel and that one guy in the volvo didnt have a working speedo so he hit it at like 40+ instead of 30 and broke his thumb. lol

I love it, I'm not a big car buff like odw777, but it's a great show to watch even if you aren't into cars.
I saw the one were they tried to make their own water boat cars, amphibious cars is it?

Its a fun show to watch, even though I'm not into cars either. Those guys crack me up with their shenanigans.
I loved this past weeks (at least on BBCPrime), they each went out to buy a 70s italian Supercar for 10,000 Pounds. They wound up with some real clunkers, especially Jeremy, who got a Maserati Merrak SS (which turned out to be a fake SS). THe previous owner claimed he just spent 10,000 to rebuild the engine, but after a lap at Castle Combe, the thing was definately on its last legs. Eventually the engine exploded. James' Lambo had ****** electrics, and Richard Hammond's Ferrari was literally falling apart.
Best part was the parallel parking bit, Richard and Jeremy had a tough time, but they did it. James made the mistake of parking his car far away, so while he went to fetch it, Jeremy and Richard made the parking space smaller just to screw with his head, I laughed so hard because he was really knocking the surrounding cars trying to fit into that tiny space with a looooong Lamborghini :D .

I absolutely adore that show! It's both informative, hillarious and is not politically correct- what is there not to love! I especially like the episode where they try to ski a Mini down an olympic ski slope...using rockets and a giant pair of skiis.
