What it is:
A season 10 DVD compilation of the brilliant British car show, Top Gear.
Why we love it:
It goes without saying that any car enthusiast would love this DVD. But, to call Top Gear just a "car show" is not adequate. Due in large part to its knowledgeable and witty hosts, Top Gear appeals to anyone who is looking for smart and funny entertainment. Each show presents something for everyone – road tests and hands-on reviews of the latest models, celebrity road tests and the wacky man versus machine experiments. These range from finding "the best driving road in the world" to concocting an amphibious car capable of crossing the English Channel; there's also a race across London by auto, bicycle, boat, and public transportation, a drag race between the Aston-Martin and a roller skater with a rocket pack, and a two-mile sprint matching the extraordinary Bugatti Veyron against one of the Royal Air Force's state-of-the-art Typhoon jet fighters.
