They all made it. I have no idea how.
Jeremy was the one who cracked me up. He deliberately used a car that, according to its mileage and tank size, was not supposed to make it, drove through France burning up as much gas as possible (even heating the unused passenger seat), and still made it to Blackpool!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Jeremy was the one who cracked me up.
He was so thinking ahead. He was supposed to run out of gas at his house. Surprise!
That was a great ep. I might find it on Netflix to rewatch once I clear off my dvr today.

Oh, that reminds me--I used my Get Well Soon gift certificate from Amazon that I got from my co-workers on the last season of Doctor Who, so I can clean my dvr of all but the Christmas ep. That'll get rid of almost all of my queue, except for Sherlock and a few old eps of Criminal Minds.

Another UK fave ep is the Botswana special. That was just about a perfect ep, with great interaction with the locals, cars both terrific (Oliver!) and problematic (Jeremy's Beatta coupe), fun side trips (watching the tourist's amazing comb-over instead of the elephants drinking from the river), suspense over whether the cars were actually going to make it, and the ever looming threat of the Beetle lying in wait.

Yeah, I loved that ep. I mean the gas one, but also the Botswana one. And also all the UK eps ever, apparently.

I haven't seen much of it, but I love the Hammer-Eagle-iThrust.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Top Gear is on of the show's I started DVRing since we now have BBCAmerica. There are something like 35 episodes on the DVR. I've watched one. (Where James tries to replicate the theme song with engine noises.)

Timelies all from the skies above most of you!
BOS was not too bad, but I think we've left too late to make my flight in SLC. We'll see. I managed to get moved up to the second row behind first class so at least I'll have a fighting chance of getting off the plane quickly.
