Classic ep. Thanks for the llink Cam
That is great and in the end they were right the only car that had no trouble was the VW
Hi
That was great viewing. I kept wondering if the Beetle was getting through all tough terrain OK, seems it did. I didn't know they hated bugs, I will
watch the show in a different light now. I often scoff at some of the Euro/pommie pieces of crap they rave about, like how great transit vans are, my
work colleagues call tragics.
Steve
Transits are the backbone of Britain...
explains why the country is going down the pan!
but generally Euro cars are worth raving about!
that was priceless

LOL at james in the merc
"oops, no 5th gear hmm someones just put a 5speed knob in a 4 speed car"
LOL that was awesome. Great to watch.
Gotta love that the Beetle never skipped a beat.
Cool took ages to watch it, but def worth the effort 
Saw the latest broadcast Aust edition of Top Gear which was a repeat-----was this just the odd episode --or is the entire series to be freekin
repeated---anyone know ??
I think we're 12ish months behind the UK with the episodes we get here. I've also noticed that we seem to lose random parts of the news, cool wall & really inappropriate one liners on the Aus versions too.
yep it is a season behind & SBS edit it down due to running advertisements these days
hrm...i'm not sure how the bug would've been through the river crossing....

I want an Opel Kadett!! 
ppfft a beetle would piss that water crossing in
if they still have half a floorpan left they tread water well
this was a mates 68 paddock basher till it was squashed up and burried
we drove it thro the creek and the water was up over the front tyres
got thro fine by the time we got out the otherside the water inside was up over the central tunnel LOL
what little brakes it had left were gone after that
