If you are looking for a good laugh, watch the Top Gear camper challenge on the BBC or Youtube. The guys have to make homemade campers and one of them is a Defender 110. The other two are a Citroen and a Lotus.

Top Gear is the highest rated show in the world, by the way.

Great episode!

Did you notice that there is an American Top Gear being produced right now? I'm hoping we don't completely ruin the show....

It probably will but we'll still have BBC America and/or the internet.

I loved Hampster's 110 conversion, his Roverholic side came out. The "privy" on the pass side that dropped to the ground through the seat box was hilarious.

It would be pretty tough to match the British one. The banter between the three guys is hilarious!

My favorite part of this episode is when the Citroen falls over in the wind.

I recommend searching "top gear bolivia" on youtube. There is a range rover in the episode which is 6 parts long on youtube...also the video is reversed so all the writing is backwards (clever trick to get around copyright issues)...but still a great episode.

I've re-watched it more times than I can count! Love the chop shop section in the middle. If you have Netflix it is streamable in its entirety there.

For the true anglophiles, or booze hounds, among us, James May has done 3 "road trip" shows with Oz Clarke - one was through california Wine country, one through France and one in the UK. Very similar style to Top Gear, slightly different subject matter.
