Top Gear, The Specials Season 1 Episode 4

Ep 4. Vietnam Special

  • December 4, 2009

In Top Gear's Vietnam Special, the three hosts embark on an epic journey across Vietnam, beginning in Ho Chi Minh City and ending in Halong Bay. They start with the task of buying cheap, used motorcycles that they will use for the entire journey. After picking out their rides, the hosts take off to experience Vietnam's unique culture and terrain.

Throughout the trip, the hosts encounter a diverse range of challenges, including navigating through traffic-clogged city streets, crossing rivers and rice paddies, and testing their bikes' capabilities on some of the country's toughest mountain roads. As they travel through the countryside, they stop at various local businesses and get a firsthand look at how everyday life is lived in Vietnam.

But the real test for the hosts comes when they're tasked with driving their bikes along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, a historic network of paths and roads that played a key role in the Vietnam War. As they attempt to navigate the treacherous terrain, the hosts encounter a number of obstacles, including unforgiving mud pits and steep inclines.

Beyond the challenges of driving, the hosts also have to contend with the environmental impact of their journey. In one particularly memorable scene, they try to dispose of their bikes' oil in a way that's both environmentally responsible and culturally sensitive.

As they reach the end of their journey, the hosts reflect on what they've learned about Vietnam, its people, and themselves. Along the way, they've formed a bond forged by the shared experience of navigating this beautiful, challenging country. Throughout the journey, viewers will witness stunning landscapes, unique cultural experiences, and the hilarious antics of the three hosts as they navigate Vietnam's roads.
