Top Gear drives across Botswana

This episode is from a couple years ago, but I've just recently seen it. The guys from Top Gear each buy a sub $2500 car in Zambia and drive across Botswana to Nambia (~1000 miles).

After just having done ~200 miles around the GSL recently, I now feel like our various overland accomplishments are meaningless when compared to this driving adventure.

If I had a few thousand dollars, a support team, a fuel truck and a helicopter, I'd definitely make a similar journey. Anyone in?

Edit: So, is there a trick to get embedded Youtube videos to show up? Apparently just clicking the "Youtube" button didn't work.

That is one of my favorite episodes of Top Gear!! Talk about hardcore expedition trips. :eek:

I edited your post to embed the vids, edit your post and see how I did it. You only need the code for the video, not the entire URL.

Yeah, that was a good one too. I like how they kept having to say it was a "factual" trip because their film permit didn't allow for "entertainment" only "documentary" filming in America.

Definitely one of my favorite episodes. TopGear is one of the only shows on TV that I make an effort to watch. I end up watching re-runs on you tube and laughing out loud.

The episode where they drive through the SE United States in beater cars is fantastic!
