Best Top Gear Episodes

Reliant Robins were 3-wheeled cars manufactured in England from 1973 to 1981 that were created to replace the faulty Reliant Regal model. Reliant didn't really get it down pat the second time around either as Reliant Robins are known for their instability. With one wheel in the front and two wheels in the back, I suppose it was inevitable that this little car wouldn't corner too well (I have a 3-legged dog, Hops. I've always said that he can run really fast but he doesn't corner too well - Hops and the Reliant Robin have a lot in common...).

Given that the stability of this 992 lb car was an issue (as can be well seen from the video), there were quite a lot of Reliant Robin enthusiasts - in fact, there's a whole cemetery full of them in England. This Top Gear episode is the funniest of the 17 year series, imho. You won't be disappointed in watching Top Gear's Rolling the Reliant Robin. Click the big link below to see the whole video.

And, for more Reliant Robin fun, picture Top Gear launching a Reliant Robin in space and expecting it to land on its wheels after its flight. That's only one of these additional Top Gear Reliant Robin videos. Get set to roll yourself!

In the Top Gear sailing challenge, Jeremy, Richard and James take on a challenge of transforming cars into boats to cross the channel to France in home made sailing "boats" made from cars. The commentary along with the visuals are classic Top Gear.
