Top Gear Vietnam Video

I had tears of laughter rolling down my face with these videos. What great TV this is. Top Gear is a long-running British car enthusiast program, and one of their running gimmicks is to take the 3 hosts on a road trip somewhere in the world. The catch with these road trips is (1) each host must buy his own dilapidated transportation which will not survive past the end of the trip (or sooner), (2) the hosts will play pranks on each other throughout for comedic effect, with embarrassment being the primary objective. Anyway, the Top Gear guys rode scooters through Viet Nam recently, and here is the video. James May having to wear a spaghetti colander as a helmet is particularly funny.
