Top Gear Season 14 Episode 3 review
Once again the boys were back yesterday evening on BBC and the show was host to some very heated debates from caravaning to what brand made the best cars and what model can make the Stig spin out twice on the test track.
For the play by play review of the Top Gear’s Season 14 Episode 3 review, including the insignificant feat of Jesus’ Second Coming, hit the jump and be amazed at what innovations can the boys cook up.
The first part of the show was dedicated to a new way of caravaning which should prevent the dreadful things on the from appearing on the UK roads ever again. Instead of hoisting the caravan to a diesel sedan and going on the road, James May believed that it was for the best to hoist the caravan in the air, by sticking it to a giant hot air balloon.
Meanwhile, on the ground, Richard Hammond was driving a stunning Lamborghini Gallardo Balboni in order to complete the caravaning experience and meet up with May on his preferred camping resort. Needless to say, and in case you read about the mishap involving May, his airship and a few trees, things didn’t go so well, including a meet up with the Air Police, as the Top Gear presenter violated the Norfolk airport’s air space. Let’s just say, airship caravaning won’t become popular anytime soon.
Next up was the news segment, which besides talking about the whole baby Kia story and telling any upcoming father to lease a Lamborghini and name his kid after that, saw a very special guest star, in the form of none other than Jesus Christ. Of course such a thing was impossible, but Jeremy was quick to deem one of the spectators as Jesus and said that the British transit authority was making late everywhere he went due to road work.
In case you followed last week’s episode, the presenters asked viewers to send in their opinion about the car brand which made the most beautiful cars in the world. While the viewers placed Ford at the top of the list, both Jeremy and Richard had a different opinion, the right one, at least according to just nine more viewers. According to them, Lancia made the best and most beautiful cars in the world.
What followed was every Lancia fan’s dream, with iconic models such as the MonteCarlo, Stratos or Delta Integrale being shown. Even though some of us might consider another carmaker as making the greatest cars ever, you must admit that Lancia still deserves some merits.
But because Lancia isn’t present in the UK, Jeremy decided to showcase a kit car based on the rally Stratos, which can be made by your own two hands, or can pay someone else to do. The result isn’t what you might expect, as the car broke down twice, once with Jeremy behind the wheel and the second time with the Stig, but it looked stunning either way and, when it did decide to cooperate, generated a thrilling lap in heavy rain that forced the Stig to spin out twice, and got on the board with the worst time ever.
The Star in a reasonably priced car was none other than Chris Evans, which is a huge Ferrari fan, fact highlighted by his impressive collection of models from the Italian carmaker

The Lancia part was excellent… the message, as I heard it:
Buy a Lancia if you want to own an icon; but buy another marque if you want to drive anywhere!
