In Top Gear season 16 episode 3 titled "Big Albanian road trip", presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May embark on an epic journey through the beautiful and rugged landscape of Albania. The trio is armed with three cars; Clarkson with the Mini Cooper S, Hammond with the Rolls-Royce Ghost, and May with a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

Their adventure starts with a ferry ride across the Adriatic Sea from Italy to Albania. The first challenge they face is navigating through the busy and chaotic streets of Tirana, the country's capital city. Clarkson gets lost within minutes, and the others are not far behind. After a series of wrong turns and some close calls with other vehicles, they finally make it out of the city and into the countryside.

The road trip takes them through stunning mountains, deep valleys, and breathtaking coastlines. The presenters put their cars through their paces as they race each other on narrow and treacherous roads. They also test the durability of their cars by driving them through rivers, mud, and rough terrain.

Along the way, they experience the warm hospitality of the Albanian people and indulge in the local cuisine, including spit-roasted lamb and fresh fish. They also learn about the country's history and culture by visiting ancient ruins, traditional villages, and other landmarks.

As with every Top Gear episode, there are plenty of laughs, banter, and challenges. The presenters take part in a race to see who can make it to the top of a mountain first, with disastrous results. They also test the practicality of their cars by trying to transport unusual cargo, such as a grand piano and a live chicken.

The episode concludes with a dramatic finale where the presenters compete in a series of challenges to determine who had the best car for the Albanian road trip. The challenges include a drag race, a hill climb, and a high-speed run. The winner is crowned the King of Albania.

Overall, "Big Albanian road trip" is an exciting and entertaining episode of Top Gear that showcases the beauty and diversity of Albania while providing plenty of laughs and thrills for viewers.
