Default Top Gear - S9 EP3 - 11th February, 2007 - Discussion

This week's show is an American special as Jeremy, Richard and James try to prove that a fly-drive holiday to Florida would be more fun if you bought a car instead of renting one. Having picked up some wheels for no more than 1000 dollars each, the boys embark on an epic road trip to find out who got the best deal, encountering heat, flies and very angry locals along the way.

We know that the comcept works and hopefully it will be fun to see what cars they come up with but still I think it would be cooler with some slightly more expensive cars.

It is sad how many cars you can find in the USA for less than $1000.
But it does make up for a hilarious feature

My personal favorite is when they bought the cheap used Porsches

Should be a good primer as I am planning a US roadtrip in the next 12 months.. but I will use a reliable car (probably!).

I wonder if Jeremy will get a Ford?

I enjoyed the episode very much! The cars were really all a piece of shit.. LOL!

Typical Clarkson humour!

Mostly because of the small stuff like hitting each others cars...
What I really found hilarious was the paint job and the cars, it went terribly wrong in ALA-BAMA :shock:

Anyway was a nice and funny special! Won't say too much!

Will be a big upload since it was one feature, are you going to split it Jabba?
