the ultimate test of man against machine. This bumper packed DVD boxed set unites some of Top Gear’s most ambitious adventures to date as the boys embark on more ill-advised attempts to out-do each other.
Not only does the boxed set feature exclusive Director’s Cut editions of the South America Special, plus the Romania and Bonneville Challenges, but for the first time ever on DVD there will be an audio commentary from one of the presenters.
SOUTH AMERICA SPECIAL:
What happens when you take a tall man in jeans, a small man dressed as Ray Mears, and a shaggy haired man with the most ridiculous tool belt you’ve ever seen and you drop them deep in the Amazon rain forest? Well, either you don’t see them again until some proper explorers find their still-screaming skeletons. Or, as actually happened, you let them take along a trio of temperamental 4x4s and set them off on a 1000 mile journey through forest, over mountains, and across deserts in what turns out to be Top Gear’s most exciting, dramatic and visually stunning adventure to date.
ROMANIA:
When the Top Gear team received whispers that deep within Romania lurked one of the world’s best driving roads they had no option but to seek it out and to do so, they got hold of three superb convertible supercars in what became an incredible Eastern European adventure. From a noise test underneath the world’s heaviest building and James’s romantic encounter with the Dacia Sandero to a small accident with the locals and Jeremy in a silly hat, this trip has everything. Best of all, it culminates with the boys enjoying three wonderful cars in absolute petrol head nirvana.
BONNEVILLE:
Jeremy, Richard and James head to the United States to see if the Americans still make any good cars. Unfortunately, there’s a small error with their visas and the US immigration authorities will only let them in if they promise not to do anything entertaining. So, with serious faces on they set off on a proper old fashioned muscle car road trip to the amazing Bonneville Salt Flats. Along the way Richard becomes an amateur aerodynamicist, Jeremy discovers a strange security problem with one of their cars, and Captain Slow discovers a hitherto hidden love of fast driving in what turns out to be a dusty, dirty slice of pure car lover’s heaven.
