Top Gear is GREAT!!! Positively love that show. The production value, the writing of the segments, the picture and music editing are all superb.

I was just watching the Limo challenge with a buddy the other day. We both had tears in our eyes by the time the segment was over. The bit where Hammond gets nailed by the water cannon had me on the floor!! Another segment that comes to mind is one that Clarkson did a number of years ago. He took a Toyota truck and beat the living SNOT out of it. Ran it into the ground, literally. At one point he put it out in the ocean, and let it sit overnight in the rising tide. By morning he had it pulled out, drained the water from the engine, started it up and drove it away. Amazing. They still have the truck in the studio. You see it in the wide shots, it's the beaten up red Toyota.
