Default Top gear buffs ...

In the polar special, what explosive exchange occurred between clarkson and may, and what was it over?

Thanks.

i watched it a while ago .I think it was when clarkson drove off with may sitting on the toilet on the back of the ute. Or when clarkson was driving like a maniac as usaual and punctured the fuel tank.

I think one of them (Jamess May I think) smuggled in a chocolate bar or pinched it from the food stores or something and wouldn't share. I cant really remember because I saw it a fair while ago.

I think it was a combination of things. I also recall the instructor at the beginning suggesting that due to the conditions and lack of sleep they were probably going to get very agitated before the trip was over.

But the funniest thing was Captain Slow still ate the Spam!

Was a good special that one, really felt for the Hamster though.

1. putting up the tent after no sleep for days
2. clarskons driving. when they hit the ice puncturing the tank and shockers
3. having a lack of sleep causing them to get shirty over very minor issues
4. clarkson destroying the can of spam
5. may just been annoyed about been there, in the cold, "pushing himself to the limit" and in clothing with zips and that makes a rustling noise when he walks. a quote from may at the start


hope that helps...if not download it and argue with your mate then


cheers

Maybe it was because Jeremy dented the roof of the Camaro when he put the cow on top of it! ROFL!

I watched this episode again only a couple of weeks ago. Pretty much all of the above was argued over.
Best line by May though was, "Can't we just take a caravan?" whilst they were trying to put up the tent at their training "camp" in Austria.
