Season 5 Episode 23
Toad the Brake van is tired of going backwards all the time and wants a change of direction. The cars decide to grant his wish, for when Oliver pulls them to the top of Gordon's Hill, the cars break away and Toad finds himself going forwards! But he realises that it isn't all that fun as he hoped it would be—after smashing through a level crossing gate, narrowly missing Gordon, James and Henry and ending his journey in a muddy pond, he decides that going backwards might not be so bad after all!
