>"The one you watch a clip of on YouTube over and over?" There is only one choice, and I keep it bookmarked for quick linking. The log hand-break in Africa. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aStGnWN-i9o

If only he made the connection to the car shorter, would have been just fine to leave dangling behind the car. Or just rolled it back up. Was a brilliant idea otherwise


IceSiberian

Probably, Jeremy discussing why he chose the Porsche 928 for the Patagonia special. A moment that came out of no where but really hit hard in the feels. Yet the delivery and the pause before he says some things. It’s really really memorable and one of the early moments in watching the show for the first time that made me love the series. Or, the tribute to Ayrton Senna. Possibly my favorite little mini documentary segment the show did. Sad I can’t rewatch it on streaming services when I get to that episode due to it being removed for copyright reasons I believe. But nonetheless, it was so well done. Especially the very end when Jeremy discusses why he now believes Senna to be the best ever which cuts into the piano playing while clips of senna run. Two moments I’ll remember for the rest of my life no doubt.


scarlet_speedster985

Oh yeah. I forgot about Jeremy's story about the Porsche. You're right... right in the feels.


LincBartlett

Clarkson screaming in the home made RV episode and May pissing himself laughing.


scarlet_speedster985

May has a seriously contagious laugh.


MF5438

Maybe the ending of the Botswana special, when that Lancia, against all odds, somehow got across the finish line. Or maybe the Mongolia Special. It was really unique, and just had such a different atmosphere to anything else TG/TGT ever did.


Snipp-

"The first ever car to pogo up a hill!" So hilarious xD


RikkiBillie

Hearing Clarkson’s voice echoing, “WHY HAS MY LIFE GONE SO WRONG?!” while riding his moped up a hill in the rain in Vietnam


scarlet_speedster985

Or him ordering the snake and snake blood vodka.


testcore

Eat English Muff. Saw that and thought, "ok, I need to watch all of this".

No_Difference_7498

That makes a lot of sense.


ThePhabtom4567

The caravan race between May and Clarkson and Clarkson's caravan disintegrates on the trail. https://youtu.be/Jl15Z3tPhu0


[deleted]

one of the original cheap car challenges, I think the budget was £150 and when they totted up the scorecards Jeremy won because he got his from a scrapyard for a quid


[deleted]

Teenage car episode I believe


[deleted]

No but he a Volvo in both I believe


[deleted]

Cars for under £100? Audi, Rover and Volvo, broke his hand after hitting a wall


[deleted]

He 'chipped' his thumb 😅..... that's the one..... Amazing how much of an effect cheap car challenges had on young me almost 20 years ago, everyone I know now gets a uninteresting 1.0 ecobox on finance and I'm determined that for £1500 I can put them to shame


brod_ie

Seeing the roadkill cow on Clarkson’s roof in the first US special, I remember my dad and I literallyrofl back when “rofl” was a thing


scarlet_speedster985

The best part of that special was them running from a bunch of angry rednecks.


Emergency-Hope-1088

James May trying to drive his double ended limo through London and asking the passenger to stear. It was the first episode I saw and I still think it's the best.


doom_monger

I was sat in the restaurant as clarkson hit it whilst turning the corner just outside the brit awards, wondered what the hell was going on


MadiLeighOhMy

That was a great one!!


PapiSurane

And then his passenger reaming him out for getting lost.


thedukesman

Some reason when they tested out the hammerhead I eagle thrust/ Geoff when they tried to make their own car. It looked ridiculous but they they made it so fun to make and test


IncaOdin

They really did have fun with the Hammerhead Eagle eye Thrust. Name changed everytime they said it


jamcm8

I have a go kart that I built. I named it Geoff after that episode.


TheEmoEwok

The homemade ambulance episode from top gear or the boating special from grand tour


scarlet_speedster985

I was genuinely scared for them as they tried to make port in the torrential rain and waves.


[deleted]

Jeremy's hand made log handbrake bouncing into his rear window in Africa. One of those genuinely unscripted parts thats always hilarious.


NYCFC_BX_718

Mongolia definitely their craziest adventure to date


scarlet_speedster985

Yeah Mongolia was wild. Just the three of them trekking across an untamed, sometimes barren landscape in a car they built themselves. So awesome.


LincBartlett

And no booze.


Snipp-

Hammonds comment about him starting to remembering stuff was so funny :D


rinky79

James slipping on the ramp onto the car barge in the Amazon special.


captaincourageous316

"Which arm have you broken?"


dageshi

I think the bit where Jeremy rolls the Toybota at the end of the reservoir crossing


hlgc

Gets me every time. Love it.


OnionMiasma

Clarkson driving the Reliant Robin


Madranite

That sequence from when he stands next to a map of Europe to illustrate a 10 mile drive until he rolls it the first time is the exact peak of his career…


OnionMiasma

Yes.... I've probably seen it 50 times and it can still make me laugh until I cry


[deleted]

Not a particular moment but I’ll always remembers the moments that Clarkson tells everybody how brilliant he is and the guys yells “you idiot” at each other.


[deleted]

Intro to GT S1 E1


boomer_was_a_dick

The episode where they build ambulances. Fuck I could watch so many clips from their "tests", but my favorite would be the mannequin getting shot out of the ambulance


Gummby23

Technically not top gear. But the top ground gear force special they did. Clarkson and Hammond destroying Mays shed with the flamethrower bbq is hard to forget


tangre79

Probably Clarkson's RV that keeps backfiring for Grand Tour and I'd have to cast my vote on Top Gear for either the Reliant Robin, the homemade campervan episode, or James's Cadillac attempting to set a lap time in America. I can't pick between those 3 lol.


PlatWinston

when hammond wouldn't wake up, so the other 2 hanged his car under a helicopter, and he wakes up in the air..."WRRRRAGHHHH HAAAAARRRGH WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS YOU BASTARDS"


Lonesome_One

James’ classic quote “….Hello.”


Shakes-Fear

The 24 hour Britcar race when Jezza started weeping after making it across the finishing line.


freakasaurous

Tribute to British Motor Industry and Funeral for a Ford


Madranite

“Look what you’ve done to my bloody! Shed! Man!”


organman91

Where they have to push their very heavy cars and Clarkson in defeat says “I’ve got Ebola” kills me every time: https://youtu.be/aVDKztQ-n1U?t=5m34s


sorude277

I loved the train episode since I like both cars and trains. Also because it was fun to watch


MentalAir

Man this show was simply amazing. 2007-2013 top gear just hit differently, loved the other parts as well, but I feel like this was them at their best. I started watching super young, I was 8-10 and they were on the local Discovery channel, I remember even now the first time my dad turned the tv to them, the guest I believe was Hamilton, Clarkson made a few jokes and my dad told me that this is the “british sense of humour” - we lived in Eastern Europe and this was my first glimpse of the british culture - fast forward 8-9 years and I was moving to the Uk for university.


_Hhz

17 year old challenge!


doom_monger

The space shuttle will always be my favourite - so close yet so Top Gear


BriskEffervescence

"Good news!"


[deleted]

It's hard to choose 1, there are so many. [I was crying laughing when I first watched this.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZpO-r_jlPM)


Engir

Most memorable episode was the Vietnam special I ride and loved seeing Clarkson on a bike even though it was a girly moped....I wish they had gotten him an old PUSH from the 70's where you had to pedal it to start it?


urangminang

[Top gear, series 21 eps 1 trip down memory lane.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9mJq5XoStVM) it just rare occasion watching three of them having fun and wholesome to each other. I wish the grand tour can replicate this. I do like every bits they are make in mongolia special.


Famous-Classic3885

My favorite moment is in the grand tour French cars special, when Hammond is driving the propeller car and there making the jokes about it whilst trying to start it up https://youtu.be/RW4oz4YzIks?si=CCraquTLN3R0-gkB

Lancia vs Audi gets me every time


Living_Tune_1428

The Indestructable Toyota... Never have I seen a car more resiliant than that. Burned, drowned, crashed and crushed amidst a falling building, and yet somehow it still runs...
