19 Top Gear Features To While Away Your Friday

Season 19's starting this weekend. I make that Top Gear YouTube-o-clock!

If you were cool enough to be home alone last night, patiently waiting for the Car Throttle Facebook page to update, you might have noticed a sneaky TV-related question. In short, we wanted to know what your favourite Top Gear moment was. Ever. In the worrrrld. Okay, I'll stop it. You answered in your tens, so we decided to make a good old-fashioned list post with some of your besties, and some of ours. Here's the ultimate TG rundown:

19. Lancia - the most (un)popular car company

Despite rusting away after 10 minutes left out on the open, and being heinous drives, the lads and a whopping 9 viewers voted Lancia as the greatest car company ever.

18. The naked driving truth

In their first attempt to find the best road in the world, Clarkson and Hammond bring lightweight supercars to the party, whilst that juvenile character May decides to bring a car that'll force him to undress himself.

17. Bugatti vs. "Toaster with Wings"

What's the quickest way to get a truffle back home from Italy: your own plane flown by Captain Slow or the Bugatti Veyron?

16. Bolivian off-roading nightmare

One of the trickiest road trips the trio have ever faced, especially if you're not a large fan of venomous insects! I probably would've sat this one out...

15. One thousand dollar cars

Title says it all.

14. Why golf sucks and racing rules

Surely motor racing can't be as expensive as playing golf? That's exactly what the "lads" aimed to find out using this highly-scientific test.

13. Grand designed motor homes

With the traditional British caravan being as cool as your mother's mother, the chaps attempt to bring motor homes into the 21st century. Just about.

12. Scooters in 'Nam

It's Jeremy being tortured on a scooter, how can you not enjoy this?

11. How to build a limo

Another case of ambition and rubbish-ness. Building a limo... how hard can it be?

10. Perfect car for a 17-year-old?

A beige Volvo, a green Golf, a battered Hyundai and plenty of banter. Surely, a recipe for another great episode.

9. "Change gear, kill a prostitute"

This episode proved to be one for lorry drivers worldwide to get their knives teeth sunk into. Yet another episode when Jeremy gets injured plenty of times and things get destroyed.

8. Bring your mums to work day

Since the trio were obsessed with the Pug 1007's 'futuristic' doors, they got their mothers to do the road testing instead.

7. Boxster S v SLK 55 v The Army

Possibly the best comparison test ever. Jeremy gets shot as well, sadly with lasers not bullets.

6. Britain v Germany, again

It's the war between British TG and its Deutsche equivalent through a series of challenges. We're glad they weren't fighting the real thing.

5. Caravancatraz

What's the big deal with caravaning? We're not quite sure, but this episode was golden, if only for Top Gear Dog's huge cameo.

4. North Pole? Pah!

"How hard can it be?" is uttered yet again, and this time it's James and Jezza in the Hilux and Hammond with 10 dogpower.

3. France and beyond in amphibious cars

We live on an island, how come all of our cars aren't amphibious?

2. The Scirocco commercial

They make a living by creating car films so surely they're capable of making a car ad? Turns out we were even better than them!

1. DIY police cars

The typical Astra panda car would make you want to retire from the force before you'd even started. So what should the best car for the 5-0 be?

BONUS: Why are trains so expensive?

Finally, to try and reduce the astronomical train fares we suffer, the blokes try and make a low budget yet desirable train. As usual, it doesn't quite go to plan.

Did we miss any conkers? Let us know in the comments.
