Anyone else ever watch it? A buddy of mine just introduced me to it and I can't believe I have been missing out on it. Suggestions for eps or seasons to watch is greatly appreciated

Anything with Tiff Needell [/hasn't watched it since 1994]. Tiff actually nearly killed my uncle once, there's some trivial trivia for you.

I don't think it really matters which episodes/seasons you watch, it's decent enough fun but every episode is exactly the same.

I must say that I watch a lot of Top Gear, TV3+ airs it a lot. I would recommend any episode that contains a "cheap car" challenges, it often has hilarious results. On the subject of seasons, I think that some of the most resent seasons have felt a bit....staged for lack of better word.

One of the big "trip" specials (the arctic, the us, Vietnam) would probably be your best bet.

I love top gear. It was a bit wobbly for a few years (But still always funny) but has returned to greatness.

I too like Top Gear.

Love it, actually. It's like classic Car and Driver, but with more bad jokes about a faceless driver and fewer about Yates' past exploits.

However, recently History Channel has been airing an Americanized version (more "clone" as either L&O UK or Steve Carell's The Office are "versions") of the show and it seems a complete waste of time.

It's an awesome show.

I'm a fan of the races they do when they get touring car drivers to drive other vehicles. They've done camper vans, buses and airport vehicles.

Season 12 episode 5 has the buses race on it (I only know because that's the episode that's up on iplayer at the moment - before anyone starts thinking I'm a Top Gear nerd).

We always have man.

I just saw the episode where they reviewed the new Ford Fiesta and I about lost it watching that review.

The one where they take a caravan holiday(not the one where they build there own mobile homes) is really good.
