That was a great episode, got my good friend hooked on the show because he watched that episode. Hopefully they'll be back soon. Im watching reruns that I downloaded off of torrent to pass the time.

Top Gear channel launches on YouTube
Top Gear channel launches on YouTube
Top Gear is easily the most popular car show in the world, and one of the most popular shows altogether. But since it doesn't reach every corner the globe, the daily miracle that is the internet fills in the gaps. The BBC's approach to the online airing of Top Gear episodes has been an ongoing saga, with the company initially ordering YouTube to take them down, then putting the episodes on their own site before striking a deal with YouTube to allow episodes to be shown on the popular online video portal. The latest chapter in the saga now has Top Gear launching its own YouTube channel, which has now gone live. The channel features a vast library of Top Gear segments, including car reviews celebrity interviews and of course the famous epic challenges. All in all some 30 new clips have been added, and the channel will also host viewer competitions for prizes and whatnot. The new channel could potentially also host episodes of the American and upcoming Australian versions of the series as well, but we'll have to wait and see on that one.

Top Gear - going to the north pole by car
Did anyone catch the Top Gear episode where they attempted to go the north pole by car? IMO that was one of the most amazing episodes ever. It was by far the most ambitious "race" I've seen them do.
#1666
Saw it on YouTube, that was before I switched to Comcast and got BBC on the Tele...it was dangerous, but I wouldn't call it the most amazing...In my book, the best one is doing top speed in the Bugatti Veiron....

I agree with you, that was definitely the most ambitious.
The most difficult one was probably the one where Richard and James had to take a boat. Poor bastards never made it and puked through high seas and engine failures in two boats.

Great clip, I remember watching it a long time ago. Clarkson is a really funny host, but he often nitpicks about inane things like the turning circle, which honestly cannot be that bad unless they put an abnormally quick steering rack on there, though I like how he said the turning circle was worse than Jupiter's He does have mostly valid points other than that though.
