Top Gear (UK) : Polaris sleds vs VW Dakar rally car on ski hill

[Dakine879]

Hello, not sure if there are any Top Gear (UK) fans here at S&M, but i love this show for its cars and humor.

Please pardon me if there was a previous thread on this, i searched and could not find anything. Anyways, in an Episode from 2011, they race 2 polaris sleds against a VW Dakar race buggy down a ski resort in Norway. It's really staged, but worth a laugh, and the best bit is at the end when they discuss why the sleds might overheat.

And if you get a laugh out of that, you might enjoy this newer episode where they go to BC to drive trucks up a mountain...(and they actually admit to liking their trucks which is probably a first for this show)

Tailgating while flashing the light bar was a dirty, dirty move by Clarkson.

One of my favorite episodes of Top Gear, is when they race trucks around a various courses and try not to damage the cargo.

I love the uk topgear but I've only watched what's on Netflix so I haven't seen the one with trucks in bc. It's awesome! Never thought I'd see the day they drove pickups! And actually liked them too!

I think it was the North Pole special that hooked me on this show.

thats a good one too! my favorite I think is torn between the Vietnam episode on bikes or the burma episodes with the big trucks. Both are hilarious.
