I voted yes, but every show would be overkill. Its funny when they do it on the odd occasion.

Yes, kill them all... images/smilies/vampire.gif
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Marcoscars4life/tull/cv2.jpg

After a trip with my parents to the Nort-west of Norway this summer on narrow mountain roads an passes I developed a strong caravan hate, as I did most of the driving behind the wheel of the Jag...

Allthough it must be added that it was an enjoyable moment every time I could bury the trottle deep into the carpet an call upon all of the 300hp up front... images/smilies/wink.gif

You can try checking the guide in my sig.
I don't think I made note of every segment where they destroy a caravan, but most should be in segments listed as "stunt" in the type column.

Caravan wrecking is a Top Gear mainstay! My favorite is when they wrecked the trailer house with the riot control vehicle.

If they could start every episode with them blowing up 20 trailers, then moving onto the news, I would quite happy. I mean, 20 isnt nearly enough, but a good round number.

I voted yes, of course. However, I'll probably get one when I get to be an old man images/smilies/wheelchair.gif

I think they could always destroy more caravans, they're just about the biggest motoring annoyance I can think of.

yes, wreck the fuckers. i spent my last holidays in scotland and i'm not sure how many caravans i got stuck behind on the a roads. what i want to know is where all these old bastards are going with their vans, and wherever they're going why can't they just rent a cabin or something?
