Not sure how many Top Gear fans there are around here, but this is a clip from one of my favorite episodes. It's also where I get my avatar from. Anyway, it's a bit long, so if you want to go straight to the challenge go about 4 minutes into it.

Love that show. :)

I've seen a lot less entertainment bought with a lot more money.

Re: Car Boat Challenge

The Toybota needed a little more flotation .... and the ability to come up to plane. The houseboat just didn't stand a chance.

Love Top Gear, the episode you posted and the stretched limo one are my favs. I guess there is an American version comming..... Adam Corolla as the host?? I dunno about that.

Despite the occasional American bashing, it's my favorite show. My favorite is still the drive across Africa. OLIVER!!:D
