Watching it now.....

so funny!!!!

[Rustinho]

As usual - really enjoyed it.

Yeah it was class alright. That mountain road was unbelievable.

Only thing that annoyed me was the fact that the whole thing was definitely an exercise in making the range rover look good.
That Land cruiser was knackered from the start & probably had gone to hell & back more than once.
As for the little suzuki, im sure the way Clarkson dragged into a log at the start didnt help things.
Oh & the way Hammond 'accidentally' left the hand break off when they were about to descend that massive dune. Utter sh1te.

It was still brilliant though.

Brilliant viewing but, as always, some of it has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

No way would they have been left gasping for breath, their support team would have had oxygen on hand. A fat, unfit, barsteward like Clarkson would have passed out long before they reached that altitude!

No way would that scene where the trucks had to squeeze past each other on the killer mountain road have been allowed. The BBC health and safety guys would have had a pink fit.

Of course some scenes are staged, but it's great entertainment.

if you pause the i-player HD version you can zoom ur TV in and see the chains and the "stunt driver" in the long range shot.

for you foreigners... the Pirate bay has it too.

I've just watched it, great entertainment, When they work, the old Rangies are good. But then I've had Suzuki's and they are good as well, I also had an old Daihatsu F20 with Toyota running gear and that was great.
Brilliant Program,
