Maybe the Castlegar airport was snowed in and they were told to head south to Trail but that also ended up getting weather delayed. All I know is they were in Trail and they had those trucks with them.

I really loved the new RC-F review "This car is such poo poo that it makes me hate Lexus as whole, so instead I'm going to have some fun in a car that makes me love Lexus"

All I know is they were in Trail and they had those trucks with them. Yeah, the thing about Castlegar Airport is that if it's a day that ends in a "y", chances are pretty good the airlines are cancelling their flights. It has one of the most challenging instrument approaches of any airport in North America, and the minimums are very, very high.

I laughed that May's pickup had Alberta plates, because of course it did, although Clarkson's didn't seem to have any?

Trail doesn't even have a precision approach, and according to Wikipedia, Castlegar is actually used as an alternate for when you can't land in Trail. Believe me, I've been on the plane when we all cheer because we can see the ground in Castlegar and we won't have to take the bus from Penticton or wherever Air Canada's alternate is, as well as the one time when we did have to bus it in from Penticton (or maybe it was Kelowna, who knows?), I'm quite familiar with the hell that is flying in and out of the West Kootenays. Eventually, pretty much everyone in my family just said, "gently caress it, might as well just drive to Calgary rather than take the chance."

Guessing James U-joints failed. Right before the end you could see him shaking in the truck. That was awesome tho.

How did he actually pop his tire? Too much wheelspin getting the chains turned around and pointing inwards or something? Given that it's Jeremy, sorta hard to tell.

Well, a whole lot of the "Rescue" required them to wink and nod at the gigantic crew that is always following them more than normal. I really don't think May was able to get back on the road on his own after that slide into the tree. Also it looked like Clarkson lost both tires on the right side and only replaced one, to me.

Before they showed the tire off the bead I was hoping the engine had blown up.

That little factoid that Jeremy spewed during the news, about the monkeys standing on their babiesholy hell  Perhaps the most "Jeremy" thing he's ever been fascinated with, somehow.

That's too bad; the sound from that supercharger is intoxicating. Though as much as I dislike the idea of the LFA, the sound is even better than the Clever Girl.

Castlegar has no precision approach either and is the very last airport in the world I would use as an IFR alternate under any circumstances. At our company, standard procedure going into either Trail or Castlegar is to use Kelowna as an alternate.

The only correct Vanir plate for a velociraptor is CLVRGRL.

Hammond's face while James was introducing the second part of the rescue film was absolutely brilliant. I know the entire sequences are scripted, but I've always had the impression that Clarkson/May don't like Hammond that much so I can totally buy that they'd be in no hurry to rescue him
