    Can't we choose more than one?

    There are three that I really enjoyed, the Vietnam trip's photgraphy was stunning......

    The Bolivia trip was amazing, 17,000 feet altitude and the cars still ran - barely.....

    The Botswana trip was fantastic too, in getting to see people and cultures not usually featured on any channel other than NatGeo...

    I couldn't nail it down to just one. All are great in their own regard. . .Loced the South American/Bolivian one(one must remember though, 3.5Kpound is like 7kUS, so like 70k Bolivianos. . .a **** ton of money in Bolivia). I agree about the shots in Vietnam. I LOVED the polar adventure, too damn funny. American run was just as funny, and had some "classic" moments.

    I have a tough time choosing between Botswana and Bolivia.

    On the other end of the scale the US road trip is one of my least favorites of ALL the episodes, not just the specials...different strokes, eh?

    I chose Vietnam, but my all time favorite moment was on the Road of Death in south America.

    Gotta be the US road trip

    When the rednacks started throwing things and the guys had to actually run for their hides and they almost lost a cameraman I just about laughed myself silly.

    What make it not so funny is when Jeromy told 60 minutes about almost getting killed in America and what happened I changed my mind about it being so funny because they were in real danger at that time. I guess you can't paint "Nascar Sucks" and such things on a car and drive it through the south.

    It still is my favorite "TOP GEAR" though.:beer

    Watching the Bolivia Special right now and just heard my favorite line. In the middle of the Bolivian rain forest: "James was suspiciously skillful with the Vaseline and condoms." :lol:
