Top Gear: Bolivia Special

The latest in the line of great Top Gear specials, following on from epic adventures across Botswana, Vietnam and the Arctic Circle. This time Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are dropped deep in the Bolivian rainforest armed only with three shabby 4x4s which they bought from the local small ads for a maximum of 3500 pounds each.

What follows is their most extraordinary journey to date. They attempt to drive from the heart of Bolivia to the coast of Chile, encountering local drug lords, the debilitating effects of high altitude and the terrifying sheer drops of the infamous Death Road along the way. But before all that, they've got to escape from the deep, dark centre of the rainforest in what is without doubt the toughest and most unmissable challenge Top Gear has ever faced.

Episode Quotes

(preparing to cross a river)
Jeremy Clarkson: OK, look, I'll tell you my big problem. Here's my fuel filler cap. Water gets in there — I know that's bad.
Richard Hammond: You're in a lot of trouble, yeah.
Jeremy Clarkson: So, I'm thinking if I put a Tampax in there, it'll expand widthway, as I've seen in adverts, then I'll be able to go rollerblading with a poodle, or drive a Range Rover though a river in the Amazon delta.
