Episode Summary & Review

Summary

We look at 4x4s to see which really can go offroad, but Jeremy takes it too literally and decides to drive a Land Rover Discovery up a Scottish mountain. Also, the Dodge Viper SRT-10 slithers around the Top Gear test track.

Our Take

A proper fun hour, with Clarkson’s mountain climb in the Discovery being the standout bit, genuinely tense and absurd in the best Top Gear way. The Viper review is loud and entertaining, though the 4×4 comparisons themselves are fairly forgettable filler. Worth your time for the mountain alone.
