This was a real Top Clown episode more than Top Gear. I enjoyed it though as it was a great travelogue and trip as the three of them can do entertaining and informative. I just wish that these episodes were not called top gear as where was the meaningful informative bit about cars.
The main thing I came away with last night was the urge to buy a little old scooter and go away for a few days as despite being absurd it looked like great fun!

Clarkson made a joke about Jonathon Ross when they were ordering their suits, about he would need a bigger one now or something like that. So I think they must've filmed it pretty recently! Who knows

Anyone else think Hammond like like an 80's Granny crooner in his custom suit?

By Any Means was about any sort of transport - from 50cc bikes to 8 litre powerboats. I think the vehicle they couldnt drive was a Jeep type thing.

Yeah I watched it as well. They were not allowed to drive cars/vans etc in Vietnam. While they were being driven to the next spot, they did have a little drive of the car/jeep but on a quiet road. After they got dropped off, they hopped onto the bikes for some off roading.
I think it was the second to last episode of the series!

Now thats what I call a top gear episode, definitely the best of the series!

Oh so people can't give their opinion now without you having a pop? Get a grip / go for a 'fap' to release that tension.[TW]Fox;13169896 said:
I thought it was a good episode - not amazing (thought the yank one was better) but still a good watch.

Is it me, or does Hammond pull off any ridiculous clothing? The helmet and the suit looked great on him!
If they didn't plan and stage the show there would be nothing worth viewing and they would spend much more license £££ waiting for something interesting to happen, or we'd get a 20 episode road trip like the long way down which would get old very quickly.

i got a suit and shirt tailored when i was in bangkok last. Excellent quality, and cashmere wool. perfect fit. They keep your measurements as well so you can order more from home.
That episode reminded me so much of travelling in that part of the world. WE hired out some 125cc scooters and it was great fun, until my clumsy friend stacked his and had to pay a fair wedge to the hostel for the damage.

Man of Honour
Top Gear's budget has been cut for 2009, so they've had to compromise on what they do. They're compromising in a very TG way though:
