Top Gear - Vietnam Special

Yep I watched it :rof:. These guys always do something special to wrap up the end of a series.I think they must have one of the best jobs going and they get payed for it, how cool is that.:D

I really enjoyed it. It was very funny, I hate it when Clarkson wins though.

+ 1 on what Numpty said. Got to be up there as best job in the world.

Nope, Alan Cathcart (bike Journo) has the best job in the World, he gets to test just about every piece of exotica on two wheels, including all the Moto GP & WSBK bikes, every year!

But these guys are running a close second. Thanks for posting this Dave, just drank 2 beers while enjoying the show! Very Good!

I reckon, 1. be an exceptional rider, who doesnt drop bikes! 2. Be able to write an informed, intelligent, and interesting article that Joe Public can digest without having to know much, and 3. Never say anything too nasty about anyone's bikes! 4. Be in the right place at the right time!

Yeah, I kind of forgot that the individual would have to be intelligent and posses great riding skills.
I was just thinking of how nice it would be to think " Aw God, I hope this years AUGUSTA turns in as nice as last years" lol.
 
Thank you so much for posting this. My parents are vietnamese and they enjoyed it very much. I really like their music selections for the over dramatized scenes.

I also think the STIG has a very cool job too.He gets to drive every super car there is then has to put it through its paces by racing it around their track in the quickest time. :rockon:
 
Freakin' awesome! I love the American Flag bike in Vietnam... what the hell were they thinking!?
 
Last year they did a road trip in the southern states of the US. One challenge was to paint each others car any way they liked so they painted slogans all over them including Vote Hillary and Man Love. They got quite a hostile reception generally but at one place were actually run out of town by gun-totin', rock throwing hillbillies!!!
 
this is the clip you speak of
