最高档 极地特辑

　　The team head to the North Pole by car - something never before attempted and something they were going to attempt by two different methods. One team composed of Jezza (Jeremy Clarkson) and Captain Slow (James May) in the car and the other team being Hamster (Richard Hammond), Mattie McNair (one of the worlds leading sled-dog explorers and racers) and 10 huskie dogs.


　　The car (of course) was a Toyota Hilux kitted out with "Cuban Wheels" (as Jeremy called them), heavy duty suspension, a toughened sump-guard and heavy-duty fog-lamps (which turned out to be as useful as Captain Slow attempting a land-speed record). The dogs insisted on urinating on Hammond and fighting amongst themselves, but were definitely up to the job.


　　Each team would race each other but before they began, the guys were sent to a cold weather training camp to give them an idea of what theyd be facing. A doctor told them what would happen if they forgot to seal their trousers and how to go to the toilet without a polar bear giving them bother but the guys werent taking him seriously. The next day Jeremy taught Hammond how to ski (despite Hamsters cries of fear) and a man from the British SAS with a distorted face showed Jeremy how cold it could be if he fell through a hole in the ice. Still, the Top Gear crew werent taking the dangers seriously so legendary explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes was brought in to demonstrate how dangerous this region could be.


　　Eventually though, they were off. With a copious supply of gin, Jezza and Slow blitzed the open ground North of Camp Resolute and left Hamster in their powdered snow in pursuit of the pole. Hammond was the tortoise in this race and fell from his dog-sled with alarming regularity. This was until they reached the legendary boulder-fields - huge lumps of snow and ice that would leave your average semi-detached property cowering in their shadows. As the ice started to crack beneath the wheels of the pickup-truck, the boys started to realize that they should have paid more attention to the warnings they had been given before they set off.


　　What followed was an adventure that involved Icelandic experts, a "bumper-dumper", James May showing off with a pump-action shotgun, a cracked fuel-tank, broken ice, extreme cold, kite-surfing, inflating tyres with explosive gas, Jeremy forgetting that cold metal will stick to your lips, a pointless game of "I-Spy", and more excitement than you could ever expect from your every-day episode of the worlds most popular motoring show.

“从没有人开车到达北极点”，这一特辑告诉我们为什么。Jeremy在出发前信誓旦旦的宣称他会证明到达北极点是十分容易的一件事，很明显，他最后也意识到，在自然的面前，就算拥有了先进的装备，人类依然是微不足道的。Top Gear的特辑从未让人失望过，这一辑依然。五星。

Jeremy的简单粗暴，Richard的狡黠激情，这些都是极好的，但我最喜欢的还是James，他稳健，冷静，当然还有个很俗的词，智慧。成熟睿智的男人啊，连男人也无法抵抗。

Bloody hell! Can't believe it they made it driving to the North pole. These guys are just insane. But hang on, it is just the insanity that made up the excellency of the show and it is the obsession that made us couldn't love the show any better! BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVO!

James May is LEGENDARY. He's the first man ever been to North Pole that never actually wanted to go in the first place.

top gear的top 1 甚至感觉比尼罗河还要好 richard说他数十只狗数了三次时又戳到奇怪的泪点 自然的力量啊

对james may突然产生了敬意，至少他从头到尾都没有显露出绝望的神情，有点遗憾狗拉雪橇队最后没有赢~~~这一集真是异常的艰辛啊，鼹鼠真心累死了吧
