Best Expedition Ever

My current favorite television show is BBC2′s Top Gear. I don’t really even like cars that much (or TV for that matter), and tend to look down at car-fanatics as muscle heads, but this show is absolutely brilliant. It has edged out The Long Way Down and The Long Way Round (also both BBC2) as being my all-time favorites.
The single thing I don’t like about the show is their attitudes towards motorcycles:
“What do you mean you don’t have a car now? What do you drive?”
“A motorcycle. A Ducati.”
“Ah, I see…. So, how long have you been a homosexual?”
I let it slide only because of the fantastic specials, like last season’s Polar Expedition where they race a dog sled and a suped up pickup truck to the North Pole. By far the best thing on television.
