Reverse cowgirl is banned in Alabama, because you never turn your back on family.

This was one of the "specials", it was one of my favourite episodes ever, taking place about 1 year after Katrina had destroyed New Orleans. They landed in Florida, bought $1000 cars instead of renting, and the idea was to drive to New Orleans and sell them to prove that buying could be cheaper than renting a car. The show had some great moments along the way, but the shocker was when they got to New Orleans and the devastation and destruction that was still there after a year. I hadn't even realised how much hadn't been cleaned up. They really shone a light on it for me. My other favourite (absolute favourite episode) is the Vietnam Special. They did 1000 miles from the south to the north of Vietnam. I wont say any more to spoil anything, but it is one of the best episodes. Beautiful country, a lot of fun along the way and a fantastic ending.

The Patagonia (Argentina) special is a must, their road trips are also worth a watch.

I find it absolutely hilarious that "the land of the free" and the only country in the world that allegedly has "free speech", is not actually a lover of "free speech". lol

Ooh, the top gear patagonia special... They got chased out of Argentina 😆 or Hammond vs Mexico 🤣

5 DOLLARS FOR A GALLON OF GAS?! It's the kind of price everybody in the world would be jealous of, even before the crisis

Top Gear was consistently the best thing on TV in the UK, and nothings topped it since. I still watch back old episodes and clips, it was just so good

Congratulations Alabama on proving them entirely right!

Shame they no longer do TopGear....They were the best

As Clarkson said “only Americans are stupid enough to call a liquid… GAS!” It’s petrol, mate 😂

The Patagonia special is a two episode special from Argentina, where things go seriously wrong in the end, when the Argentinians go mental over the Falklands war, due to the unrelated date on Jeremy's licence plate.

They crossed the Kalahari and the Atacama deserts, drove across Mongolia in a car they had to build from a fully disassembled state dropped by parachute in the middle of nowhere, endured death road through Bolivia, almost had brain aneurysm while crossing the hights of the Andes starved of oxygen, drove on the mad roads of India deep into the Himalayans, crossed legitimate civil war areas in Myanmar, several tours across Africa, and many more things, but the only time they were legitimately in real danger, was in Alabama, when armed maniacs thought they could attack people for expressing an oppinion they didn't like that wasn't even meant seriously. Shows you what level of a shithole the South of the US is. They then even donated their cars to people affected by hurrican Catrina, and got sued, because the cars had some issues. Yeah, they bought them for a thousand dollars, and it was a fucking gift. If it was worth nothing more than its scrap metal value, that was more than you had before.

I would bet my left nut that every one of those garage people would also be the 1st ones to scream about their 1st Amendment rights if the shoe were on the other foot!

I love how she calls the place a 'Hick Town' like she's proud of it haha HICK Noun NFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN 'A person who lives in the country, regarded as being unintelligent or parochial.'

And I'll say it again: the two amphibious car challenges were unforgettable!

Yes, more Top gear reactions!! I love seeing someone else enjoy for the first time it's like watching it fresh again! You should react to the one where they turn their trucks/vans into boats 🤣

"The rednecks arrived." I bet their names were Elwood, Walton, Wynn, Earnie, Earl, Dale, Doyle, Dan, Daryn, Dalton and Don.

I've never owned a car and don't drive but I always watched Top Gear with those 3 guys.

I'm glad you got some context on the show.... You'll enjoy the "specials" regardless of which one it is. Suggestion: Jeremy drives a Reliant Robin"

Almost every top gear has a mad road trip like this in them absolutely fantastic show 💯 worth watching 🤘 great reaction 💯❤️🇬🇧🤘🤘

The next part had Jeremy Clarkson in a heavy thunderstorm and his windscreen wipers were crap.

Not sure anyone has explained, but the start of all of the challenges is always the same -- each is given £100 £1000 or some small sum to buy a car/truck etc and then normally modifies it to take on a massive long drive or other challenge type. So the cars are normally bad from the start, and then asked to do near impossible things -- like make it drive on land and also water.

The security they used to travel with back in the days when they did stuff like this was a team of Ex SF. Generally they were armed and totally prepared to protect their principles but they weren't fully expecting this sort of reaction in the US.

Ya could do the Top Gear Car Boat Challenge next?

My favourite TV show of all time. The best Sunday watching. Such an incredible trio!

The car boat is great. They built boats from cars and tried to reach France.

Hey KB, your channel keeps getting better and better, I'm now subscribed ! Re- Top Gear all their "specials" merit viewing but my personal favourites are Vietnam, and Source of the Nile.

Brilliant reaction video as always. Would love you to watch you react to a full episode, as only seeing small parts doesn’t give you the full story of whats going on. There was a lot more good content from that one episode as well as many many others. It was a hugely successful show.

I miss them doing top gear this was an amazing special, thanks 🙏

Greatest Toyota Hilux commercial of all time Top gear tries to kill a 4x4 Truck. You will be Amazed 🤣👍

The thing with these TG youtube videos is that they don't have the full segments. By all means keep reviewing them but I can only suggest you find somewhere where you can stream full episodes.

Awww this episode was hilarious. All of the top gear specials are brilliant to be fair.

Old Top Gear challenge episodes are really good. There's a few DVD boxsets of them available on Amazon (hopefully available for you in the states). We used to binge on them.

I was lucky enough to go see an episode filmed - what you see on the tv is NOTHING compared to what goes on at the recordings! It's utter filth and I loved it 🤣

Props to you for recognising Vangelis and that great music from 1492. Not something I would expect too many would know. Great job.

Top Gear HoverVan was for me the funniest stunt they did and I very near died laughing at that one

I still find it mad that the top gear team drove right across the middle east and through war zones and they still say there trip to Alabama was one of there more terrifying moments in making top gear.

Theres probably some super cuts or their arctic roadtrip, that one is 100% worth watching in full if you can find somewhere

For the Patagonia one - please remember the war between Argentina and the UK over the Falklands was in 1982 - then when watching take note of the license plate (It might not be as obvious what the issue is to those that are unaware of this)

Bruh 007 N64 is a must. There is no contest when Goldeneye is a option.

Those specials are great. Try a few more. There's two which spring to my mind. The one when they drive to the north pole and my favorite where they drive from the amazon rainforest over the Andes. Superb and scary fun.

Love that you're loving old Top Gear. For years, it was the best thing on television. Every sunday most of the country tuned in to 3 well spoken morons doing stupid things for us. This one had us genuinely concerned for their safety as did the Argentina special

Love that. Great reaction. Got to do Argentina next.

In the UK at the moment it works out as $10.43 a gallon for diesel (@ £1.90 per litre) so don't complain!

Thank you... the last one was snippets glad you got to watch a fuller ep.... the one I mentioned with shot guns was South Africa Botswana I think... they also have done THAILAND MY 😍 Middle East, china, Australia. They did the European race circuits have a race from London to Scotland and back in a day... raced tractors around a mud feilds and army tanks. THEY ONCE GOT A SMART CAR INTO THE LIFT AT THE BBC studios and drove it around for the day. Lol please do get into it.... it wasn't just a car show for the boys. Xx

"20 military time"...... that would be 20.00 (20 hundred hours) to us....There are so many Top Gear Challenges/Specials and every one of them is worth watching. Its hard to suggest one for you to react to, because every time I think of one another comes to mind that's just as good. Best thing you can do is react to them all I reckon

Watch more TG your highness. You don't have to be into cars. My late mum cried with laughter at some of their antics. My uncle from OR (I have 4 cousins in the States, so with all their offspring, there is more of my blood in the USA, which I'm quite proud of), laughed his head off when he visited the UK and watched it. 😀

My favourite bit of this episode was the Big Stig at the Race Track and almost ending up in the swamp

Has to be the Argentina episode when they got chased out of the country . I think there is part one and two on KZfaq... Top Gear crew escapes Argentina.

The specials were all great, and worth a watch . My favourite is the Vietnam special lol

Their specials are pretty good, even if a bit long for youtube. Also may I suggest looking into The Grand Tour as well, which has those 3 from top gear. There's a whole thing about that too.

On the radio they said that the guys from the gas station tore past them on the highway. So they assumed that the guys drove ahead to prepare something up ahead, like an ambush or something very unpleasant. That's why they realized they need to get off the road immediately to get the writing off the cars.

A great couple to watch are the Vietnam and Bolivia specials, both excellent episodes or if you can find it, the trio crossing the English Channel to France in boats made out of cars!! 👌🏻

'Bolivia's dearh road' is well worth a watch, the agentinia video too.

Hello 👋 from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 lovin the channel 👍 Top Gear pure class

Don't go to Alabama folks if you've got a parting in your fringe. You'll be mistaken for a local.

top gear was so brilliant as its like 3 mates having a laff and driving anything from Ferraris to baggage trolleys

The Vietnam Special is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. I watch it often lol!

I loved this Special. Those boys were braver than I’d be….

This was the pinnacle of Top Gear. They did some great special episodes like this US one, the Vietnam special and Bolivia special. Check out the Vietnam special next if you've not already seen it.

Great reaction .😂😂 ,You need to watch Clarkson's farm series .😂😂

I am a Brit, but my Brazilian-American gf is from Tuscaloosa, AL. She is currently serving in the USAF as a Staff Sergeant, in TX

Top Gear - the Aquatic Cars, Winter Olympics, Toyota Hilux Destruction, Football in Cars, Aquatic Cars Part 2, Race to Monaco and many more. Only from the Clarkson, Hammond, May years 😊

They've done some amazing and hilarious things over the years. People have mentioned the Argentina trip - which became as scary as Alabama... but for something equally ridiculous and with fewer angry locals, try their attempt to drive across the English Channel, or turning an old 3-wheeler car into a space shuttle.

I can't remember if it were Top Gear or the Grand tour, but their Thailand special was amazing funny!

Not the only time Jeremy was "running for the border". The Argentina episode springs to mind

If you can get your hands on top gear DVD's or watch it any other way, i do recommend watching it. The best part wasn't the cars but the banter between these three, and all the silly things that they would do like challenges . The big reason why top gear was so good was due to clarkson, hammond and may.

Classic glad you did this one

Yeeee Haaaaaw. Hilarious. They had plenty of other challenges but you gotta see the patagonia trip and crazy argentinians. Thats all i'll say.

The specials were the best!! America, Argentina, Australia and artic were hilarious

The Argentina incident was epic lol made this look like child's play

I believe there are 32 series of top gear and 4 series of the grand tour for you to watch all full of car insanity and mayhem

You've got to see the «top gear bolivia special». Brilliant. Hilarious. Dangerous.

The top gear caravan holiday! Underrated

Your reaction to HILARY FOR PRESIDENT got me in hysterics 😅😅😅

Side note: its a hard 'g' in Vangelis as in 'goat'. Give El Greco by Vangelis a listen. Very spooky.

RIP Vangelis - he croaked a couple months back :/ This scene was part of a full episode challenge - definitely worth watching the full journey (S09E03)

My personal favourite Top Gear special is the Vietnam special. Well worth watching although the Patagonia special is also excellent.

This is a truly iconic moment in British TV history

The 'home made convertibles' episode where they somehow manage to set fire to a car wash.. Quality..

This was a great episode of Top Gear!!!!

For reference at 7:17 this episode was filmed just after Katrina in 2005 if memory serves the challenge was to buy a car for a 1000 dollars or something, then sell the car in New Orleans but in the end the cars were given away.

Top Gear was the best show on TV when these three guys and The Stig were on. I always looked forward to the "Some say" joke about the Stig.

I actually wrote to producer, Andy Wilman about doing a 'Christmas Special' doing my job(2000 mile harvest), but sadly never got a response as he probably didn't see the comedy in it...I was wanting to see what the 3 amigos would be like in 3 x semi trucks with either a 53' grain trailer or a combine harvester on the back...the CDL medical would be hilarious, where you get your testicles felt(to see if they're large enough for the job)! :)

Now you see the lead ups to the clips before. It was daring each other and fun! A lot is lost in just a sentence from a clip.

It made me laugh, if they had run for the border with the slogans still on their cars they would have still been in the South 😂

You should watch more Top Gear road trip specials. My favourites are Vietnam, Bolivia and Botswana

you've got to watch them getting chased out of Argentina its mental

This was a landmark moment in British TV when it first aired

I feel that in Top Gear you have found your spiritual home :P

All the Top Gear and Grand Tour road trips to the USA are always the best.

Yep the 1492 Conquest of Paradise album is one of my favourites.

You should watch the other bit from the same episode with the cow. That's nuts.

The 'Vietnam' Road Trip is essential viewing, and great fun.

Awesome pal from Morecambe northwest England mate 👍 respect ✌️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸👍

"Jesus had 2 dads & he turned out fine".

Top Gear Clarkson's glitchy GT40 is very funny

$5 per US gallon is about £1 a litre, which is what it was for a long time here, now it's around £1.80 a litre.

Although top gear specials will always be the best in my opinion, the grand tour specials are also fantastic.

There are so many classic Top Gear episodes but I would start with the Specials: the Polar special, Vietnam, Botswana, Burma, Middle East and just too many more to type.
