They'll !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! in !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! of Canada. This is just a couple of hours south of where I live. Too bad that the fact that we actually have !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! here won't be very apparent, since they'll be filming late fall.

SWEEET

I don't think they have ever filmed in Canada other than the polar special but I could be wrong.

And the Okanagan is by far the prettiest place I have ever been.

I think they should do a cross-Canada road trip special

You're correct. I've seen every minute of the "new" TGUK, and the Polar Special was the only time they came here.

Yeah, umm, that'd take an entire season.

They most certainly should. maybe using cars that were built here too.

I can see the Hamster showing up in a Bricklin SV-1

Capt. Slow getting something completely boring like Caddy XTS

and Jezza cheating and getting a Hellcat

I thought the HellCat was made in Brampton, Ont?
Good list btw! I like the Bricklin!

It is and um,Brampton Ontario is in Canada.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

That'd be freaking amazing, eh?

Through Osoyoos, yeah:

the Top Gear film team will be heading along Highway 3 and several off-road locations for three days later this month.

"They're going to go from Manning Park to Christina Lake," he said. "Then they're going to carry on to Castlegar."

Aw yeah. Manning Park is pretty nice. That's quite a ways from Castlegar. Highway 3 is really nice in the summer fo sho!

Yeah, that's a bigger distance than I assumed they'd travel. Looking forward to watching it, even if November weather is the shits here. I wish they could've shown the world how hot and desert-y Canada can be.

I've been down to Oliver & Cranbrook directly from Kamloops, but I've actually never travelled through the Crowsnest Pass. I'd love to make a trek along the whole Hwy. 3 from Hope to Medicine Hat.

I did highway 3 the whole distance. Great drive. 10/10 do recommend. Even the alberta section is nice. The frank slide area is cool!
