Did anyone catch the last episode of Top Gear... I'm referring to Series 22, Episode 8 which aired on 28 June 2015. This is the "missing episode" which aired after Jeremy Clarkson was fired. In any case, in typical Top Gear style buffoonery they tested "lifestyle SUVs", and Clarkson was towing a Hobie 16. Best quote from the scene is when Clarkson says "I'm going a million... I don't like it". I couldn't find a link to an online video to share, but here are some screenshots I made.

Yes. The first thing I noticed was that he was towing an Hobie 16 without any mast behind his Vauxhall Frontera. Then, the H16 he sailed was a different newer boat. The BBC's continuity dept should have picked that up!
