Caravan segment was funny. I was when they threw all their just-purchased hardware store stuff in the recycle dumpster. I didn't expect that.

Love those Lambos, didn't expect to see the Stig go off the track like that, it looked so planted through the rest of the course. I laughed out loud at alot of the caravan stuff. Also, Steve Tyler has some nice rides.

The last segment put a tear in my eye, having lived for many years in England when I was younger. That was an epic segment, and I'm not even British.

The Jag. I saw one in the flesh a week ago in my neck of the woods; it was a V6 version but was stunningly good-looking.

Great episode, coulda done without the bus segment though. When I first heard the jag, I said to myself, "now that's a healthy sounding V8". I was floored when Jeremy said it was the V6

That Jag sounded amazing! AND looked beautiful!

And I agree, that last segment was epic. No clue the Brits were that much involved with the auto industry. I noticed the McLaren P1 but no MP4-12C. I also think I only saw 1 Lotus..

Great episode The F-type is

Clarkson is pissed at BBC2 and tweeting for showing a documentary of German engineering right after Top Gear.

Jag is awesome. The exhaust note is just for a V6

Enjoyed Mark Webber segment too.

The bus segment killed it for me. Was watching this morning and damn near fell asleep during that. Have to watch again for the jag segment. Damn you James, that was lame.

I know I'm late to the party, but I was when I watched the caravan segment.

Brilliant.

I think I'm about three series behind now.

I don't know why, but I've totally lost interest in the show. And that makes me kinda sad ...

From what I can remember, they only provide links to the broadcast tv shows.

The released to DVD specials were found elsewhere.

I'm sure we'll be able to find it on the various sites in a couple days or so after the DVD/Blu-Ray is released.

The Perfect Road Trip is available for download on iTunes right now (if you're in the UK) and will be out on DVD and Blu-Ray from November 18

Can't wait to see what the P1 does around their track. McLaren aren't releasing the Nurburgring time, so it'll be interesting to see how it compares

Only thing I don't like about these DVD specials is that they rarely feature all three presenters. The show just isn't as good without all three (still good mind you, just not as good)...

Very cool of Richard and awesome plasti dip came to the rescue.

Great thing about TG is that my gf, who has no interest in cars, actually likes the show. Guess that goes to show you that the accent seals the deal.

Not available in the U.S. iTunes store.

C'mon now.....and I was willing to pay for it, too....

Edit: Not available yet anywhere. You can preorder it on Amazon for $60. That's a lotta money for a DVD.....
