Yeah, we sure can, and my dreams that involve Jeremy aren't really for public viewing.  |

Well we've had their mum's appearing in an episode so how about their wives/partner. I'd love to see Jeremy being bossed about - wouldn't that be a treat. I can imagine James pretending not to be the perfect gentleman but not being able to help himself. Perhaps they could design and build their other half's dream car - a sort of 'pimp my missus' ride!  |

I think I remember reading somewhere, maybe on here, that the guys' girlies were asked to do something once and a couple of them weren't really comfortable with the idea.

I agree with Rwhip: I'd love to see a python, namely John Cleese. He is a highly intensive person and not someone I want to be anywhere near if he is behind the wheel. Eric Idle or Micheal Palin would be high on my list, too. I always love seeing both of them. Pierce Brosnan would be nice to see also. Comparing cars, I'd like to see them compare the Rav-4 with the Cr-V. I'd love to know if I bought the right car... A few challenges I'd love to see them do: (it is a lot to read, brace yourself...  ) Top Gear KartI'd like to see them build Go-Karts from the ground up and use their personal favorite car's chassis as a jumping off point (e.g., Richard could use a Range Rover, James a Panda and Jeremy a Jag or Aston). They can modify their car anyway they choose and add on things like spikes, boosters, jets, spoilers, turrets, wings...anything they want that they think will help them win. There should probably be a budget put on it; if too much stuff is put on the kart, it wont go far. That is something they should be thinking about while they are building it. The more creative they are with their design, the more points they will ultimately win. There will be two parts; the first part involves maneuverability. They will have to go through an obnoxiously hard obstacle course with their kart. For every road hazard that they hit, time gets added to their final score. The second part is the actual race, which will follow as such; the guys will have to race their cars for 5 laps around the track and have to sabotage the crap out of each other. Every time they are passed by someone else, they lose 50 points and every time they over take someone, they gain 50 points. If they knock someone else's kart out (to the point where the other person has to stop), they gain 100 points, and the same goes for the reverse; they lose points if they are hit. The Stig will be thrown in at the beginning of the third lap. He will be like the blue turtle shell and the Golden Snitch. If one of the guys is able to knock out the Stig (either permanently or temporarily), he gets 250 points, but if the Stig knocks one of them out first, they lose 250 points. If the Stig wins the race by beating them to the finish line, then they all lose 250 points each. So not only do they have to watch out for each other, but the Stig also. It is one, huge, carnivorous free-for-all that I would be dying to watch. ;D ;D Trivial PursuitThis is another test for the guys to show not only how much they know, but how much they can remember and what facts to call back immediately. No scripts here; everything is based on what they can remember. They can study for a day or a week; it is up to them. A car will be shown up on a screen and they have to signal in and rattle off as many facts about that car as they can in 30 seconds to a minute(depending on the obscurity of the car); how many different models there are, 0-60, where/when it was made, specs, weight, liter of engine (that is available), etc. Bonus points are awarded if they can guess how many of them are on the road today, give or take 1,000. The closer they are to the correct figure, the more points they will get and the more obscure the car is, the more points they will receive. If they get a fact wrong, they will have to remove an article of clothing. Or, better yet, give them a choice; either take off an article of clothing or take a shot of the hardest alcohol the producers will let them have. Ok, last one, I swear! The Christmas Overhaul The three will have to create car-themed Christmas carols for different charities (like a benefit) for a week. James, Jeremy and Richard will have different responsibilities once the actual charity event starts, but all three will have to work on the carols together and decide what ones they want to sing. If they learn how to harmonize beforehand, it wouldn't kill them, either. James will be in charge of the actual carols and instrument construction; he can choose which carols to rewrite and will be using car parts to make the music for them. He also can assign Jeremy and Richard to help him build different instruments for the carols, but also has to remember that the musical instruments have to be portable (designing something like a horn or a handheld instrument might be a good idea and easier on all three of them). He can use any part of the car he wants this time; he is not restricted to just the engine (and will receive more spiked eggnog if he uses different car parts). But when they go about playing music, they have to make sure that a majority of their instruments are car parts. They can use drumsticks, piano or guitar strings and things like that that are accessories to help enhance their instruments, but the instruments themselves have to be all car. The more the instruments are made out of the car, the better. James and Richard will go to the junkyard and decide on what parts they want for their instruments. Richard will have the job of PR: he decides where they go, what charities they visit and organizes the schedule/budgets the time. The team can visit Richard’s charity if he wants to. He also will be in charge of funds and talking to the press, TV, radio and other media elements. He and Andy can decide on a monetary budget. Jeremy will be responsible for the visual creativity and ambiance: he will decide who is dressing up as Santa, Rudolph and an elf (big guess on who will get stuck with that role) and decide on costumes, and organize the order the songs get played in. |

I've got a good one. Top Gear Dating. The boys have 10k each to get a car, choose from A collection of women (mainly from this board, mainly me! Lol) and they have to have the car that is best at 1) impressing the woman visually 2) getting her to a restaurant quickly 3) getting her HOME (to bed for a long night of passion) comfortably. 4) be a car that she could easily drive te next morning to fetch the paper (parking, steering and such) The presenter with the happiest woman at the end wins. Cars can be brand new or second hand, new or old, any sort of car - as long as they are under 10k. |

Although in mine, the budget was unlimited. |

And in mine there was no cars or budget - just full on sexing. |
