So far on this list, we've had the inclusion of cars on the water, so how about boats on land? Season Two of The Grand Tour included the episode, "Oh, Canada" which featured Clarkson, Hammond and May receiving a message from the show's producer, Andy Wilman, instructing the guys to race to a mysterious finishing line, whilst towing a small, lightweight boat.

As soon as Jeremy drops his famous catchphrase "how hard can it be?" you know that everything isn't going to go to plan. Hammond and Clarkson race off in their SUVs, leaving James behind to plan his route via map. This might seem boring and not good TV but the payback is more than clear. Within minutes, Jeremy finds himself up the side of a hill reaching a dead end with, what anyone but Jeremy could see, isn't enough space to turn around an SUV towing a boat. But then again, this is Jeremy Clarkson.

As Top Gear fans will remember from the time the guys went caravaning, none of them can reverse a car whilst towing literally anything. Even though we can see Jeremy concentrating extra hard for the boat not to tip off the edge of the cliff, it didn't work. The boat is crushed into the side of the cliff and jammed between the car.

Despite saving the boat from certain death, Jeremy later finds himself stuck yet again. This time he unhooks the boat and tries to turn it around by hand. The boat slips out the trailer, crashes down the hill and breaks into a wreck at the bottom.
