Top Gear Vietnam Special DVD review

I wanted to tell you about this great Vietnam Special that Top Gear did in Season 12, episode 8. It starts off with the boys from Top Gear taking on a challenge to buy a motorized vehicle that will take them from Saigon to Ha Long Bay, Vietnam in 8 days. You could look at it as their version of the Cannonball Run 1000 since they will travel 1000 miles to get to their destination.

This is a DVD you should add to your movie library

This is great fun and very entertaining to watch Jeremy, Richard, and James try to complete all the tasks in beautiful Vietnam. The scenery is at times breath taking and you will want to pack your bags and go to Vietnam when you're finished watching this episode. Of course it would be alot of fun and laughs if you could experience it with these guys, but I assure you they would test your patience, what is very funny to them will become a migraine headache to you! ha ha! Just watch what they do to Richard through this road trip and you will understand what I mean!

I do love watching a great man-trip and this one will not disappoint, they enjoy moments of chaos, shenanigans, male bonding, and of course testing their other road companions.

The boys find themselves trying to buy vehicles with the amounts of money they have been given in shoe boxes, these large amounts of money turn out to be not enough to buy cars, so they are left to try and find two wheeled rides that will get them through the journey and win some bragging rights when they finish. Jeremy is not fond of two wheeled rides and he makes that very clear, however James and Richard are in their glory. Finally they have a huge advantage over Jeremy and the laughs begin.

The chosen bikes:
Jeremy ~ Vespa Scooter 150cc
Richard ~ Russian made Minsk 125cc motorcycle
James ~ Honda Super Cub 50cc

They will try to overcome weather, traffic, poor road conditions, road side breakdowns, mountain roads, and night riding. This is a great DVD for motorcycle and scooter enthusiasts. The boys are great to watch and the areas they travel through are absolutely beautiful to see. It is also wonderful that everytime they needed help the local people would jump right in and give them a hand fixing their bikes. I bought my season 12 on ebay and it is a 4 disc set. My husband has enjoyed watching all the episodes but my favourite is the motorbike challenge. Jeremy, Richard, and James will show you a good time Top Gear style.
