Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond travel to Florida in order to prove that a fly-drive holiday would be more fun if you bought a car instead of renting one. Having picked up some wheels for no more than $1,000 each, the boys embark on an epic road trip to find out who got the best deal, encountering heat, flies and some very angry locals along the way.

Our Take

This one earns its reputation: tight writing, real stakes, and a payoff that lands. Peak Top Gear.
