This was one of the "specials", it was one of my favourite episodes ever, taking place about 1 year after Katrina had destroyed New Orleans. They landed in Florida, bought $1000 cars instead of renting, and the idea was to drive to New Orleans and sell them to prove that buying could be cheaper than renting a car. The show had some great moments along the way, but the shocker was when they got to New Orleans and the devastation and destruction that was still there after a year. I hadn't even realised how much hadn't been cleaned up. They really shone a light on it for me. My other favourite (absolute favourite episode) is the Vietnam Special. They did 1000 miles from the south to the north of Vietnam. I wont say any more to spoil anything, but it is one of the best episodes. Beautiful country, a lot of fun along the way and a fantastic ending.

[@button1ginger1]

The Vietnam Challenge was hysterical. They were given shoe boxes of cash, but didn't realise the exchange rate was dire. They ended up with total junkers.

[@passionfruit5320]

That's my favourite too Vietnam. The three of them on thos bloody bikes 😂 😆 they pick on May so much on that one. 😳

[@TheBeardedAdventurer]

Yes!! Absolutely loved the Vietnam special 😂 need to watch it again

[@AthanImmortal]

@@TheBeardedAdventurer Original broadcast version if you can get it, the dvd version or whatever is not as long and they replaced the music with royalty free sound alike, so like when they reveal the forfeit bike and it plays "Born in the USA" in the dvd version it's just the US national anthem, which also destroys a lot of the jokes. Also on all of the re-broadcast/dvd version they always replace the A-Team music, which bums me out :D

The free speech thing is so that you can't be prosecuted for speech. If you walk up to someone, call them a name and they punch you. You can't hide behind "free speech". Here in England we recently had someone get arrested for retweeting a picture.

[@vjollila96]

i mean its free speech on law but some people doesn't appreciate when you say ''wrong'' stuff in either way with not that good end to it

As Clarkson said “only Americans are stupid enough to call a liquid… GAS!” It’s petrol, mate 😂

[@keineahnung5466]

Honestly, 150 years ago there were many attempts to drive a carriage with an engine. Some tried it with gas others with electricity. Legally, the first patent for a motor vehicle with liquid hydrocarbon was granted to Carl Benz in 1886. His later companion (Mercedes-Benz) Gottfried Daimler tried it at the same time with gas. That's why there's confusion in many languages; even in German, people say "Gas geben" for going faster. And honestly, Clarkson is an arrogant douche, which was also the reason for the end of the show with the Three.

[@meshsun1]

@@keineahnung5466 good info, thanks. But it also means that they had 150 years to correct it to something logical :) BBC is very extreme when it comes to political correctness, they hated Clarkson for ages. The trio moved to Amazon, and bbc had to fire 2200 workers due to lost of fund and the lost of 1.5 billion viewers around the world. The ratings of Top Gear dropped like a bomb.

The TG-team consits actually of five people: the three presenters, a producer and his editor, and ALL 5 of them, as one man, marched over from the BBC to amazon. Now, that's what I call friends.

Makes me laugh when you see *certain* Americans complaining about $5 for a gallon of petrol. In the UK, we buy in litres. In the last 2 years it's been as high as £1.90 a litre.

On the radio they said that the guys from the gas station tore past them on the highway.

They crossed the Kalahari and the Atacama deserts, drove across Mongolia in a car they had to build from a fully disassembled state dropped by parachute in the middle of nowhere, endured death road through Bolivia, almost had brain aneurysm while crossing the hights of the Andes starved of oxygen, drove on the mad roads of India deep into the Himalayans, crossed legitimate civil war areas in Myanmar, several tours across Africa, and many more things, but the only time they were legitimately in real danger, was in Alabama, when armed maniacs thought they could attack people for expressing an oppinion they didn't like that wasn't even meant seriously. Shows you what level of a shithole the South of the US is. They then even donated their cars to people affected by hurrican Catrina, and got sued, because the cars had some issues. Yeah, they bought them for a thousand dollars, and it was a fucking gift. If it was worth nothing more than its scrap metal value, that was more than you had before.

[@veryvarley6706]

Not sure anyone has explained, but the start of all of the challenges is always the same -- each is given £100 £1000 or some small sum to buy a car/truck etc and then normally modifies it to take on a massive long drive or other challenge type. So the cars are normally bad from the start, and then asked to do near impossible things -- like make it drive on land and also water.

[@spracing04]
