Top Gear Caravan Hell

[angelophile]

Just been watching motoring review show Top Gear, where presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May attempted to get over their oft-publicised hatred of caravans by taking one out for a weekend.

What followed was an example of where if anything can go wrong, it WILL go wrong.

After causing several hundred cars worth of tailbacks, dealing with a sick dog, ripping a hole in the caravan when hitting a post leaving a garage, getting lost and attempting to do a three point turn in a narrow road and blowing a tyre in the process, they eventually reached the camp site.

When there they reversed the caravan over someone else's awning, had to cope with chemical toilets, culminating in a pan fire that no only gutted their caravan, but also blew up the one next door that they'd already backed into.

Perhaps the most hysterical comedy of errors I've seen recently.

Just a shame it was meant to be a serious, well, okay, semi serious report.

The full ep can still be viewed on the BBC website.

They also have an article where they try to find out how fast a Formula One car can go. Indoors. And Brian Cox does the star in a reasonably priced car challenge.
