Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
Awesome episode. The sheer amount of pure suffering that James May went through on the boat and how much Clarkson abused the fuck out of the rental cars was hilarious.

I was really hoping they'd have Jeremy use all his insurance claim cards=P
Great episode. And by far the best level of celebrities on one of their new reasonably priced car track days. I actually recognized almost all of them without any need for them to give names. All except the dude from Genesis and the chick Jeremy liked.
Jimmy Carr fucking rules BTW. When he asked Warwick Davis if he could pick "stuff" up, because he didn't know what superpowers his people had. And Warwick and Hammond's bread chairlift system...Jesus. I was stunned how good his time was.

There's nothing better as background TV than a good Top Gear marathon. Right now I have BBCA on and it's the episode where they make their own TV show intro built around the Jensen Interceptor. Jeremy's intro of why it maybe never had it's own show...
"It looks fantastic...but it was built very badly by people who didn't seem to care what they were doing."
There's just no show that uses words so effectively and efficiently.
"In the old car the big Chrysler engine turned petrol in to noise, but very little power was produced on the way"

One thing Jeremy said keeps cracking me up, it's from a few seasons ago.
Where he makes this dumb face with a stupid smirk and goes on and on about how apologetic you can be because you drive a Jaaaaaaaaaaag.

It really rustles my jimmies that BBCA can't be bothered to put accurate air dates on Top Gear episodes. I set my DVR to record new episodes only and I get tons of shit from 5 years ago constantly clogging things up. I had to delete the timer and haven't watched the last couple seasons because of it. Eventually I'll catch up I'm sure but its more effort than should be required.

You're better off torrenting episodes anyway, BBCA cuts the episodes down to fit an hour time slot with commercials where the actual episodes are ~60 minutes runtime
I cannot imagine wanting to miss a single second of this show. Definitely go with torrenting.
Don't think that's correct. The last few seasons on bbca have been 90min long, unless that's changed for this season. I know they have chopped up the 90min specials to fit 60min though.
i timed the last seasons episodes to see what was cut, I think i mentioned it on page 1 or 2. usually 7-10 minutes of stuff. some good cuts, some poor cuts
It was a big leap from cutting out 30/40 minutes of episode before 2012. back then, you need to torrent the episodes to fully enjoy them. I think they started to air recuts of some older episodes to make them fuller, not sure if thats true though.

If it was 1 hour with commercials, that means it was roughly 42 minutes without.
However, the "real" Vietnam special ran ~75 minutes long (without commercials). Just so you know.
EDIT: Ok, That special is actually Season 12, Episode 08. My rip is 1:13:36 without commercials.
