  • Little bit of googling:

    On the eleventh day, Italian journalists destroyed their support 109" when they knocked over an oil stove which they were using inside the rear of the vehicle. The fire spread to the jerry cans strapped to the Land Rover. The resulting fireball caused the roof to fly off the Land Rover to a height of several feet. Luckily all those involved escaped without major injury. Amazingly, despite being gutted by fire, the engine of the vehicle still ran!

    -Simply amazing- =)

  • They are like a rock! :P
