Bah! Best of Top Gear tonight.
However, this is the Caravan Holiday episode, which is pretty damned funny.

1. Yup.
That's why I haven't done the thread this or last week.

This is the nice extended version of the caravan holiday, too.

2. Good Lord, what a crap-ass car they chose.
I wouldn't choose a KIA for anything, let alone tow a trailer.

3. I see from the tease that they're showing the Gallardo Spyder
which Clarkson subsequently bought.

That Kia is desperately horrible. Of course, every time I hear the word Kia, I laugh reliving Top Gear's "Pacific Rim" show. I don't know if a show has made me laugh so hard.

Jesus, what was I thinking when I bought this place??!!

21. omg, this is hysterical
Clarkson was left embarrassed after he was locked in a portable toilet by a prankster for several minutes.

He was trapped in the loo when a man stacked a pile of tyres by the doors.

He eventually managed to free himself, but the incident was filmed by several people on their mobile phones and uploaded on to YouTube.

:spray: :rofl:

16. Hamster is correct. That thing is BUTT UGLY.
I would much rather have the supercharged Range Rover Sport.

17. Agreed. And as Clarkson has proven already
the Sport can outmaneuver (for a while) a Challenger tank.

18. Porsche should just make one model.
Everything other than the 911 is butt ugly.

OK, I will allow them to make Boxsters, providing they never sell one to a man. :)

19. Have you seen the new Panamera?
Blasphemy!

And yes, no fella should be driving a Boxster. Ever. Unless he's a valet.

22. Even Lambo killed their recent 4 door idea.
Porsche should have done the same.

Laziest exterior design team ever.
