I’ve been watching the US version of Top Gear recently, out of sheer morbid curiosity, and I couldn’t help but laugh my ass off at the episode where they put used off-road trucks through their paces on an expedition to touch an iceberg in Alaska.

South African’s are going to love this.

Rutledge (the fat one) buys a 1997 Dodge Ram which breaks down on the way to the iceberg

Adam (the ugly one) buys a 1976 Ford F-250 which also breaks down on the way there

Tanner (the gay one) buys a 1983 Chevrolet C/K 10 Stepside, the only truck to make it to the iceberg. Or should I say the only other truck to make it there.

As a punishment, and in true Top Gear fashion, if anyone’s truck broke down, they would face the shame and torture of continuing the journey in an embarrassing mess of a truck. A truck that surely couldn’t make it all the way, that no true petrol head would be proud of, that no rugged man could show off to his mates.

What was the other truck? A Toyota Hilux, with the two other dolts whose trucks broke down in it.

Incidentally also the only other truck to make it to the iceberg.

Americans…you so silly

Here’s the episode
