Savuti and Chobe - beautiful place, we were lucky do have a pride of lions come through our camp site back in 2000 (we escaped Sydney during the Olympics). We were sitting around the fire late at night and we could hear their call - the Tour Guide said if we go sit on the truck roof, we will be able to see them. No time for cameras though. Brilliant experience and high fives all round. Loving being on the journey with you, Andrew. Its stopping me from working.

"Clarkson is an idiot, in the best possible way." My thoughts exactly. Not that the grand tour is in any way bad, but I still prefer the trio in the old series.

So many of the places in Botswana and Namibia reflected in the still photographs in this video, are so well known to me. They invoke first hand memories.

[@madcat4563]

Didn't expect to hear Andrew is a fan of the Top gear/Grand Tour trio. Edit: I have encountered a similar issue with a fan in a 76 series Land Cruiser. Somehow a pigeons feather went through the mesh cabin filter (it had no holes where something that big could go through) and sat skew in between the fan blade. So when the blade turned the feather rubbed/catched against it and made a terrible noise.

[@bikevault2302]

awesome oil sender story, reminds me of the days my dad and I had with the many classics we owned. Makes me want to buy one again.

Top Gear certainly was a masterful production series, and can never be replicated with other characters. The playful sledging and bastardry amongst the three of them, and the filming locations were epic. No two ways about it.

Was it in Alabama where the Top Gear guys painted signs on their cars like 'Hillary for President' and 'Country music sucks'? I think they feared for their lives that day after trying to refuel at a local fuel station when the local boys turned up. Another series was in South America somewhere where their convoy was attacked by locals. It was a great show, i still watch re runs and still laugh at some of their antics.

Hi Andrew, been watching your videos for years and IMHO must say that your work experiences and wisdom through storytelling is a masterpiece. Taking us to a journey like no other and as if we’re just sitting infront or lounging at the backseats. Also congats for being a grandad! - been laughing out loud at myself if the “small voice” you’ve heard is the same person who hitched ride with you- saying “mate you forgot to drop me off, turn-on the engine and let’s go”! 😂

[@tonedeafmagonigle3513]

You are spot on about Clarkson Hammond and May. They have the best chemistry and new Top Gear will never find anything close to that. I don't think the BBC would have fired Clarkson if they knew he would take everyone with him including Mr Wilman

Massive Top Gear fan here. I absolutely loved the series and still watch the old videos from time to time. I loved the one where they used a Range Rover to cross Bolivia, finding the source of the Nile in station-wagons, etc. I'm in a 100% agreement with your comments about the show. I felt that the first seasons of Grand Tour were rather disappointing because it just seemed that they were trying to forcefully capture the magic of the old show. However it is completely true.. the relationship in between Clarkson, Hammond & May is absolutely real. If they weren't proper mates, Hammond & May would have stayed creating Top Gear after Clarkson was fired.

[@MIK33EY]

I have to point out one thing regarding you (and mine) love of OG Top Gear & Grand Tour and that is that there’s four mates “cocking about” with cars. The fourth is Andy Millman, the Producer & sometimes Director. Mr Millman is often spoken about by Jeremy fondly - believe they’re lifelong friends since High School. Either way, it’s the four of them who made TG & GT what it was. There’s a new GT out on July 31st filmed during the UK lockdown last year.

[@jaydenoloughlin6694]

Absolutely loving this series! I just bought my first 80's 4wd too! 1986 Fj62, hopefully, I'll have the chance to travel as you have.

[@rogergedminas4668]

I have enjoyed your stories, advice and filed many of your comments away for when I might have something go wrong. Now, I'm a fairly sentimental guy, so I can see the joy the old Rover is bringing you, but I can't help to wonder how long the novelty will go until you get another Land Cruiser, Hilux, 4Runner or something more reliable. I'm cringing as you drive on what's gonna break next. Wishing you the best on this adventure, and thanks for taking us along.

Were enjoying the ride along & great work as ever.
