Yea thats what i was thinking too they were going like 40mph on on big boulders and through the water and stuff... I wonder what happend to that dodge engine in the end... Was that dodge a 96 like he was talking about in the beggining ? It couldnt have been it had a 5.7 hemi in it. If it was a 96 wouldnt it be a 5.9 or 5.2

For some reason i had a small fealing that blue chevy was going to win when they first showed the trucks. That or the dodge.

i just finished watching that episode and i would have to say those guys are idiots. i'm surprised they didn't have any spare parts to fix the ford. usually on the British top gear they try fixing there vehicles if they brake or drive them broken.

It seems as if most of you are completely missing the point behind Top Gear.

It's an editorial show, it's their opinion they're putting out. They rarely if ever do any objective testing of anything. Why? Because that's not entertaining.

Bullseye!

And take a close look at who their sponsors are.
