Great episode is that

Absolutely brilliant, probably a bit staged at times but still brilliant. few things worth the license fee.

Enjoyed the 'bags of caramel cocaine' and Hammond getting high from it.

Even though they are only leaves and it is impossible to get high from them. :)

It is.

It's mental how many types of scenery you'll see, from desserts, to salt flats, to snow capped mountains then on to deep jungle and rainforest.

Going in September 2010, and i can't wait now because of that tonight. :smt069

:D

Fastest ginger Bolivian round the Nurburgring as well, according to Neil, a Nordschliefe instructor. ;)

It was most definately staged though. No way that was real.

Von Teese 28-12-09 12:08 PM

Re: Top Gear at 7:45 tonight
 
I think that was real, here are some pics of the actual road, Ive seen it before and its just crazy!

He was heading the wrong way along the road for starters, so randomly turned round at one point. :confused:

If heading up towards La Paz the drop would always be on the right, where as Jezza had it on his left.

BBC phonies. Still exciting mind. :D

two cars narrow road big drop yeah fake that tell you what you have a go see if it's fake.

Would have been more exciting for the BBC to explain how they managed to roll him down the cliff by accident. *evil chuckle!

I have done. countless times in fact. Once on a push bike too. One of the best things i've ever done.

I've done it in a small coach too. Believe me it's scary looking over the edge and not being able to see any road, especially when there is a truck passing you on the inside. :p

give clarkson his due then not many would do that kind of stuff just to entertain you.

Yeah, fairplay to him.

I think Hammond falling in a ditch was real though. ;)

Happens all the time. We came across a lorry that had nearly tipped over.

I did wonder if the beeb had sent one of the camera cars to meet him.

Very entertaining though. Those drops looked terrifying.

Thats a good point binky, i didnt notice that at the time, he did say they pass on either side but not when your going wrong way.

beabert 28-12-09 03:19 PM

Its all staged, makes it more entertaining to watch though. If they just let if flow it would be just like a michael palin travel show.
