Please be aware that Inhaling pure oxygen is potentially hazardous. Jeremy, Richard and James embark on a project to build a car that can turn into a hovercraft and bring relief to flooded areas of Britain. Their efforts don't start smoothly, but it's not long before the trio is demonstrating the brilliance of their creation with an eventful journey down the River Avon.

At 6:20 when Hammond and Clarkson were arguing about turning it around, and then May turns his head in and says, “No! He’s right! Go over forwards!” It just felt very cinematic, like the scene in Titanic when they’re trying to turn the ship to avoid the iceberg, very dramatic and heart racing!

[@ruth80809]

Yeah I totally agree! Loved that moment.

[@ihathtelekinesis]

Inhaling pure oxygen warrants a warning annotation but driving up a weir doesn't.

well since you don't have a hovervan there probably isn't any point in warning that is unless you do somehow make a hovernvan
