Not the best Top Gear Special, got some moments, like the car hockey, or the ski jump with the Mini, but overall not the most exciting stuff. What's in it is good, but not enough stuff is in it

gonna rewatch all of these and rank them fully

could tell this was the first special it felt like a compilation rather than one big storyline but some events were enjoyable and their banter was building up well
