Just catching up with my other forum subscriptions and found this posting on Pistonheads.

Seems they may be pitching a Rangie , a Jimny and maybe a Wrangler in the Bolivian Jungle in a cheap 4x4 challenge.

Anyone confirm this >?

Sounds good, remember that the "Jimny" name applies to the SJ range in the rest of the world so it might be an SJ

yes, thought about that but you know what will happen .. Clarkson will go british and probably with a V8 .. Hamster will go American ... and Captn. slow likes his small cute cars .. so will probably go Jimny rather than SJ ...

from here


"Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are dropped deep into the Bolivian rain forest in the latest in a line of Top Gear specials.

Following on from their epic adventures across Botswana, Vietnam and the Arctic Circle, this time the trio are equipped with three shabby 4x4s bought from local small ads for a maximum of £3,500 apiece.

In what is set to be their most extraordinary journey to date, Jeremy, James and Richard attempt to drive from the heart of Bolivia's Amazon basin to the coast of Chile, encountering local drug lords, the debilitating effects of high altitude and the terrifying sheer drops of the infamous 40 mile mountain pass El Camino De La Muerte – "Death Road" – along the way.

Before all that, they must escape from the deep, dark centre of the rain forest in what is, without doubt, the toughest and most unmissable challenge Top Gear has ever faced."
