Not sure which car it was but they tried to race a car vs a harrier jump jet on an aircraft carrier? Car ended up in the sea. That was pretty funny although very short.

To date, i still haven't seen the north pole one. They are all good and have highs or lows. The Endurance race was good as you went through it with them, and Jezza i think actually cried at the end of that, so he showed some emotion!

The one with the climbers and the RS4 was cool, cause he actually got beat

Ah yes the african one was very interesting too. Maybe the poll should have been for your least favourite?

America.

"Manlove"/"Nascar sux" still cracks me up. Absolute class.

Aqua very close second tho'. May in the Herald with a mast, JC putting THAT engine on the back of a pick-up, waiting for him to "floor it".

............and Dave rulez.

I liked the one where they had a race to get from one side of london to the other using different forms of transport:

Richard Hammond cycled
The Stig used the tube (he must have been so hot in all his kit on the tube..! )
James May drove I think?
and Jeremey Clarkson used a boat down the Thames

The main reason I liked is is because Hammond won and Clarkson lost (for once!)

Voted for the American one, just because it was a laugh a minute.

Wasn't so impressed with the North Pole, particularly after what I've heard about the woman running the dogs (She claimed she could do X miles a day, which a good team of dogs could do, but her team couldn't)
