I'd be guilty of the same reaction.

I guess in this thread we can start speculating as to what this episode will be all about. JC's car looked like some sort of high-rise condo thing while Hammond's was definitely a brick house of some sort slapped on the back of what looks to be an old Land Cruiser. Couldn't get a good look at May's but it looks like an old Lotus with a derigible pasted on the roof....

I'm guessing they built their "Dream RV's" (Or Mobile Homes as they probably call it)

Yea the Bolivia special does go down as one of my favorites

Im just talking about the season as a whole

No doubt every episode was good if not great(like the bolivia)

But back then with like seasons 9 and 10 every episode was just amazing

Speedemon, last season was just not the same somehow from the few awesome seasons before it.

The special was epic though.

It might not even make the cut. Or they might point out that somebody was filming them, filming the show....

If anything, they would probably mention the video when they do car news. Then they would say something about the crazy parents, lol.

Doubt it though.

I started watching random episodes from time to time recently after all my shows ended. Yesterday I watched the trip to America where they have to buy cars for under $1000. Great episode

They should have a best super car for the real world challenge. That would be interesting, each of them pick a super car and they have to travel from like Rome to London, and see which super car would be easiest to live with from day to day. That would be interesting.
