Since the early 2000’s Top Gear has provided the automotive enthusiasts with the equivalent of what crack did to Cocain addicts.
Jeremy Clarkson along with Richard Hammond and James May have done everything from launching a rocket propelled original Mini down a ski jump to trying to trying to send Reliant Robin into Earth’s Orbit.
We have browsed the depths of YouTube to come up with some of the most memorable moments of the great TV series.

8. [b]Killing a Toyota Part 2
Sometimes it’s harder to get rid of a car than your clingy ex. In this case the Top Gear crew have smashed the Toyota truck into a tree, a wall, set it on fire, hit it with a wrecking ball and let the ocean take it for a little spin cycle, but it kept on plugging along. What does one do to ensure a demise of the vehicle? Put it up on an apartment building that’s about to be demolished.

The infamous crash that almost doomed the show and nearly cost Hammond his life.

6. [b]Jet Car - Nissan
There comes a time when every car has to be disposed off.
The usual method involves calling a Junkyard and having the car hauled off to it’s ultimate demise at a crusher.
Or there is the Top Gear way which involves making some calls and burning through a lot of petrol.

5. [b]Radio Controlled Cars
As you mature and grow up everything tends to get bigger. Your little play house turns into a full size house, your play tools turn into full size lose your finger or two tools, your Matchbox cars turn into your personal transportation and your RC car… usually tends to stay you’re scaled RC car. That is unless, you have a budget of a popular TV show.

3. [b]Mini Cooper Flying
“Those who don’t succeed, weren’t trying hard enough” was once said. But that is simpy not the case here.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s… Reliant Robin?

1. [b]Ariel Atom
Perhaps one of the most viewed and notable Top Gear moments, that spread through out the internet like wildfire. Jeremy Clarksons test of the Ariel Atom and the destruction that ensues to his facial features. Oh the hilarity!
