Oh, how I do love "Top Gear." If you've never watched this BBC jewel of a car show, you're missing some fabulous -- and fabulously funny -- television. Hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May (plus "The Stig," their incognito race car driver) are always up to something interesting and always entertaining.
Anyway, this time the guys are racing each other across London, with each one in a different mode of transportation. Who will get to the finish line first? The car, the bicycle, the public transport, or the boat on the River Thames? This was just delightful. And a rather practical exercise. If you've ever been to London as my posse and I have, you know that it is infamously congested and simply jammed full of horrible traffic.
And is it me, or is Hammond kind of cute in an amusing, nerdy sort of way? His temper tantrums are hysterical. Clarkson's commentary, by the way, is simply hilarious.
Here are the links to the video for Part 2 and Part 3. Enjoy!
