In Top Gear season 10 episode 6, the hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May embark on a challenge to buy a convertible car each for less than £2000 and take it on a road trip around the coast of Northern Italy. The aim of the challenge is to prove that a cheap convertible can be just as fun and enjoyable as an expensive one.
As always, the hosts approach the challenge with their own unique perspectives. Jeremy chooses a BMW 325i, Richard selects a Mazda MX-5, and James goes for a Saab 900 Turbo. The hosts start in Genoa and head towards the Italian-French border, stopping at various towns and cities along the way.
Throughout the road trip, the hosts encounter a variety of challenges and obstacles. The BMW struggles with overheating and clutch problems, while the Mazda experiences issues with its soft-top roof. James’ Saab also faces some mechanical issues, leading him to have to make some creative repairs.
Despite the challenges, the hosts enjoy the stunning scenery of the Italian coast and have some fun driving their convertibles on winding roads. They also engage in their usual banter and competitions, including a race up a mountain and a series of challenges involving buying gifts for each other.
In addition to the main challenge, the episode also features some other segments. The hosts test drive the latest BMW M3 and compare it to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. They also test drive the new Ford Mondeo and discuss its various features and specifications.
As the episode draws to a close, the hosts reflect on the success of their challenge and how much fun they had driving their cheap convertibles. The episode ends with a humorous surprise twist that perfectly sums up the Top Gear spirit of adventure and camaraderie.
Overall, Top Gear season 10 episode 6 is an entertaining and enjoyable episode that showcases the hosts’ chemistry and love of cars. The challenge of driving cheap convertibles on the Italian coast is a unique and entertaining premise, and the hosts’ antics and challenges add lots of humor and excitement to the episode.
