Last Episode of Top Gear tonight
 

Looks fun, travelling through Vietnam: BBC - BBC Two Programmes - Top Gear, Series 12, Episode 8

Steve

I believe it's one of their mad challenges. They are ach given a budget and have to buy some motorised transport to travel from one end of Vietnam to the other with the final destination being in the sea LOL! Trouble is the budget they are given is only enough for two wheeled transport.

It will either be hilarious yet contrived or a complete flop - we will see!!!

knowing SN... the members will rate it a hilarious, contrived flop

sundays will never be the same untill it comes back on ,i even look forward to it all week .

always entertains me and the missus :thumb:

That's just it, it's light entertainment and I think viewed in that context it is rather better than most of the other garbage on TV. Each to their own I guess.

It's always contrived - anyone who thinks their 'races' are really races is not seeing the big picture, but it's still quality entertainment all the same!

Richards taliban bike:lol1:

Waits for all the those moaners saying there wasn't enough car reviews, they wanted to know the boot space of the new Ford Model T or the fuel economy of the new Vauxhall Idontgetit!

Great stuff.

Been to many of the places they have gone through :)

Will be going back in a few months, great country.

FPMSL:lol1:

Still on.......

Sh1t :lol1:

Mille Miglia on now :D

And The Getaway with Stve McQueen later :D

watched worlds strongest man instead,much more entertaining.

Clarkson with the bucket helmet at the begining lol, quality programme though, you could have no interest in cars what so ever and still enjoy the commedy;)

I thought it was good:thumb:

I think Vietnam will be my next holiday :D

BBC iPlayer - BBC Two - Sunday 28th (Today)

Outstanding. At last Clarkson is converted to 2 wheels... :lol1:

Of course the two wheelers among us know already that as much fun can be had from a Honda CB50 as from any other form of transport on 2 or 4 wheels... you just have to scale your expectations... :thumb:

What a stunning place Vietnam is. The pratting about was funny but was more impressed with seeing the country.

TBH I just sat slack jawed through most of it, stunned by the location, the kind weather (riding in pouring rain in shirt sleeves), the thriftiness of the people, the emphasis on small capacity motorcycles (of which I'm an increasingly big fan again) but mostly the change in attitude Top Gear is taking: Electrically powered cars, people riding huge distances on tiny motorbikes.... what next... walking... :eek:

Moving to bedford then ? :lol1:

I recently spent a couple of days there and would seriously recommend it for a holiday if you like something a bit different, it is a fascinating place.

looks like a really nice place for a holiday, would love to go there one day.

As soon as I heard what they were doing I was as excited as Hammond. My first bike was a C50. 45mph top speed (down hill) and about £2 a week to run it.

I think we are all conditioned into bigger, faster, better but sometimes, small and crap is the best way to do something.

Well weve got to afford thier foreign hols somehow ..!

Funny, Entertaining, Educational (a little) and a little bit of travel show all rolled into one. Brilliant!

Bedford :wonder:
