Title: Heads Up - Top Gear Polar Special
Post by: Goblin on July 24, 2007, 22:39:11 PM
Wednesday 25th 8.00. Top Gear special polar race between Clarkson and May (wheels) and Hammond (huskies) over 350 miles to the magnetic north pole.

Something to tie us over to the next series.

No doubt JC will somehow have managed to blag the new McLaren Poletrotter hovercraft (c/w Merc ZZ18 enigine). Oooh did I let that slip? Now Ill have to kill you all  8)

Fave bit was when JC got angry and floored it.. And ripped the second fuel tank off :D

Or where the husky dog woman was wind skiing! That looked amazing :D



Funniest bit? Seeing Clarkson slowly start driving the car with May on the back on the crapper  :lol:

I liked the part where hampster said, "I have a spade and theres no-one around, so dont try it."

Really great show though.  Had us all laughing all the way through. :)

Just think - youre going to be the first person at the north pole who didnt actually want to be there lol


Note: just watched it in my lunch break and sky plus missed off the first minute or so but worse it missed off the last couple!  Jeremy Clarkson:  "I came to the arctic thinking it would be easy...  It wasnt, what really ***click***"

How in this day and age cant they manage to make these things detect the end of a program properly.
