Top Gear: South America Special poster

Overview

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are dropped deep in the Bolivian rainforest armed only with three 4x4s which they bought from the local small ads for a maximum of £3,500 each. They attempt to drive from the heart of Bolivia to the coast of Chile, encountering drug lords and the debilitating effects of high altitude. Without a doubt one of the toughest challenges the `Top Gear' team has ever faced.

00:35:27 It's like a big, feather mattress. I really am...relaxing. Yeah.
00:39:27 So you want me to push your car with my car, now, on this road here? Yes.
00:42:52 'The Suzuki too was showing the strain.'
00:47:05 'I swapped my live battery for James' dead one.'
00:50:27 with some old combat trousers and some big wheels on my car.

01:07:21 I think, James, we can safely say that what's happened there
01:10:37 Is the drop at the other end just sheer, because we're nearly at the Pacific now?
01:14:05 We're down!
