I generally wouldn't use them for reference material, but Top Gear's
Vietnam adventure on motorcycles is simply wonderful. Some of the best
television ever. They did an exceptional job of covering the people
and places through their wild and whacky trip. Grab yourself a big
bowl of popcorn and settle in. Probably my second most favorite Top
Gear episode. The Toyota truck destruction being my favorite. (I'm
laughing and crying myself silly when the building implodes and down
it goes).
