Awesome Top Gear episodes

The tomcat has gotten me hooked on Top Gear, a hilarious British car show, and I am going to recommend a couple of episodes, since I heard that totoro finally watched an episode with EG and enjoyed it.

Totoro watched this episode about the smallest car ever made. The main host of the show drives this teeny car to work, and then proceeds to drive it into the BBC office building, to meetings, and other hijinks.

I also love the Africa challenge, where the three hosts each buy a used car for a tiny sum of money and proceed to drive across Africa. At one point, they drive across a salt flat that has a thin crust that will trap your car if you break through it, so they have to take as much weight out of the car as possible so they remove seats and all sorts of car parts in Part II. You'll have to locate the other parts of the episode if you want to see the rest, but it's worth it!

The Top Gear guys and the Top Gear Dog go on a road trip in a caravan, the British RV. They get stuck trying to turn around, Top Gear Dog gets sick, they break stuff and eventually accidentally set the caravan on fire!

The Top Gear hosts each buy a car and convert it into a boat - and then have a challenge to drive it to a little lake and then drive/sail/float it across the little lake. One of the hosts creates the Toyboata with a Toyota truck; another takes a VW van and makes it into a house boat. Also, the changes to the boats interfere with the drivability of the cars, so it's darn funny to watch them on the highway.
