Tonight, on Top Gear

[flvegan]

If there has ever been a recent episode of Top Gear to not miss, this is the one.

8pm EST, BBCAmerica



Season 12: Ep 8 - Vietnam

*Top Gear ends Season 12 in epic style as the boys try to travel the entire length of Vietnam in just eight days, on motorbikes.

*Clarkson worships a new god, wrought from porcelain.

*The three also build amphibious versions of their two wheelers to cross (or attempt to, anyway) Halong Bay.

This episode (with commercials) runs 1 hour and 40 minutes, and it is epic.

Additionally, directly following Top Gear at 9:40, a special "The F Word Meets Top Gear"

BBC America's most outrageous personalities collide when Gordon Ramsay welcomes Top Gear's Jeremy Clarkson and James May to the F Word. Jeremy gets a lesson in lobster lunches, while James must prove his manhood by outcooking Gordon in his own kitchen.

1. The scooter on the left is a Vespa GL

This has been another edition of 'know your scooter'.

2. I like the ad where Clarkson falls.

Too bad Richard Hammond isn't on Ramsay's show... I might have taken a look at least.

3. IIRC, Hammond is there.

I recall from the preview/commercial that he's there. He just doesn't have a special task or anything.

5. Cool, thanks.

4. If this is a shot from tonight's episode,

Also, I've seen the James & Jeremy portions of the "F-Word", good stuff...

[flvegan]

6. Yes it is, and yes that is.

As I said, this is a must-see episode.

13. Epic way to end the season

But Clarkson was lying through his teeth about not riding a moped before, there's footage from a Japan special he did where he's on one. The tw*t

[GOPisEvil]

14. The rain makes an awful sound on my colander...

:rofl:

[flvegan]

15. And it sort of...leaks through.

[GOPisEvil]

16. It's like being on holiday with two idiots.

[GOPisEvil]

17. By the way, I will never hear "Born in the USA" the same way again.

[flvegan]

18. Even now, when I think of it, I hear Clarkson say:

I was born down in a dead man's town, James.

[GOPisEvil]

19. If he turns up on Bruce Springsteen, I'll feel sorry for him...

...but I'll still laugh.

[flvegan]

20. Children, if you don't know why this is the most inappropriate thing ever...

ask your parents.

[GOPisEvil]

21. Poor Hamster and the ceiling fan...

All that time and effort... :rofl:

And the whole town showing up to paint EVERYTHING in parking lot pink... :rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

22. That was absolutely brilliant.

Having everyone's name preceded by "Francis Ford" in the credits was the icing on the cake. :rofl:
