Best Episode of TG Yet?

7x03 without a doubt. Everything in series 7 really.

10x9 is also great but series 7 was so epic the world imploded.
 
One of my all-time favorite episodes is the homebuilt stretch limo challenge. 9x06.

I enjoyed this one up until the final bit, where they drive the celebs to the awards show. I skip that part when I rewatch the episode.

The british leyland episode was another typical top gear gem

Another reason why I'd say series 10 was one of their overall best series.
 
The most memorable for me was the 24 hours of Silverstone one. If anyone has complaints about scripted episodes, then this one they can never complain about. True emotion and true problems, reactions, terror and joy. I loved it.

That Silverstone episode was brilliant. I think that's also what caused Jeremy to admit that he might not be so useless behind the wheel, which led to the Ford Escort race on one of his videos.
The timesheets were available from the organizer's website for a while, and Jeremy's times really were very close to the Stig's.

Sorry I don't remember the numbers of the eps :/

I like most episodes, even the most recent ones. But 4 of the "Non-special" ones always come to mind: Jeremy driving on a single tank of diesel, The 24-hour race (maybe I'm alone in this, but the best part of this ep for me is the Ascari A-10), the episode with the tractors, and the more recent rallycross episode (where everyone is called Gary) :)


EDIT: Honorable mention: Jason Dawe bringing some supercars to a school. Zonda, Ferrari, TVR, and a Lamborghini Countach that made the kids go absolutely crazy :D

I liked a lot of the episodes in Series 4. The films were shorter back then so in the same episode where they did the race to Monte Carlo they also did the clandestine CityRover test, the Exige track test with the Apache gunship, the Cool Wall, and a news segment that wasn't terrible like almost all the news segments have been since Series 10 or so. Nowadays they do one film with the three of them that lasts 45 minutes and is often a dud.
 
first ep I saw after chanel flicking and still my personal fav has to be the 2 door coup? for less than ?1500 that isn't a Porsche. season 6 ep 2 i believe
 
One of my all-time favorite episodes is the homebuilt stretch limo challenge. 9x06.

This. It was the first episode I ever saw, and it is what sucked me in as a fan.
I was in tears watching it, from laughing so hard.
 
My top 3:

05x02
Enzo, XJ220, F40, McLaren F1, Carrera GT, Zonda,
Ben Collins in the Bowler Wildcat,
Geri Halliwell, Nick Mason

07x02
Cayman, RS4 vs climbers, RC cars, Ian Wright

I really, really liked the ep. when they raced from London to Edinburgh ...in 1957.
Jeremy in the Flyingscotsman, James in a Jaguar and Richard in a blackwidow motorbike. Great.
 
Not sure what series/episode it is but one of the few I could watch again and again is the one they bought cars at an auction and did the road rally in [im tempted to say but could be wrong] Spain..? It's been a while since I last saw it...
 
I would have to say the first amphibious car challenge they had. It was Top Gear at there simplistic best. No grandiose challenge, just a simple build car, take across reservoir. And yet might have been the funniest show they have ever done.

I think that one, for me, shares the title of 'Best' with the 24 Hour Race episode. The first time I saw the amphibious car episode I thought, "Hope there aren't any low bridges along the way, James." Hammond's problems with the Canal-boat/Van are just comedy gold.
 
I really, really liked the ep. when they raced from London to Edinburgh ...in 1949.

FTFY. :)

Anyhoo, for me, I'd say these...

* 7x03 (supercars in France... definitely a classic)
* 12x06 (Caterham vs. Veritas, communist cars, Mayor Boris, one of the funniest news segments ever (at least IMO), and Jeremy's "sensible" Fiesta review)
* 5x04 (Pagani Zonda Roadster, 24 hours in a Smart ForFour, Aston Martin Vanquish vs. Ferrari 575, conkers with caravans... my go-to episode when I want to watch TG but can't be bothered to pick a different one)
