Well, I'm looking forward to it!

Thought the Vietnam Special was ace, and quite enjoyed (particularly the first 3/4) the South American trip... fingers crossed!

Remember haters to watch it too so you can complain about not liking.

Looking forward to it too I like their big challenges.

Is this a different Africa special to the last one?

I'm much more of a fan of these challenges than super car stuff, it's much closer to my notion of where the fun in car ownership lies.

Yes. This one is searching for the source of the Nile, apparently.

Always seems to be a lot more whining about people whining than there is actual whining about the programme in these threads.

Cracking and what better way to bow out 3 old bangers then to cart them across African plains and roads.

Rotten car choice.

You want a Skoda 4x4 for exploring.

I've just realised my perfect "bike car" can be had for £1500.

Impreza was a good choice, but I'd probably spring for the Legacy if it were me, purely for the legroom.

Failing that, a Passat 4Motion or Octavia Scout, although the Legacy would fit more into the "power" theme.

The last time I watched Top gear it was like a news show for cars, It was probably in the seventies or thereabouts. I might watch that and see how things have come along, I know its a different show now.

Got to say i'd like to know how or where Hamond managed to get that Subapoo for under 1500 quid 🙂

can't find a bugeye at the moment, but a classic here for closer to a grand:

If it's a cat D you should be able to find a bugeye for closer to £1500 or a leggy one for that money

Can you get them for £1500?

Did you not see the paintwork? It's rogered. Lacquer was peeling off on the bonnet!

EDIT
I just looked on Auto Trader. There's a good choice of them at that price, probably in better nick than Hammonds. £2k buys a pretty nice one.

Bit late to the party but... like it.

Heart says 850R, head says Impreza. And how many of those Scorpios were ever sold? IIRC, there were something like 15 a year selling of the saloons when they ceased production, so what - 3 a year of the estates?!
