Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May reach the Guallatiri volcano and must choose between taking the long route around it or a shortcut by going over it! They just might come to regret the decision to take the shortcut as the debilitating effects of high altitude take their toll on the intrepid trio and their choking 4x4s.

  • Help!! Any one?!

    @JustQ80

  • Whats is the music used from 0:18 till 1:02?

    I love it. Please help me to find it... Plz

  • *i actually cracked up!

  • Haha! Lol @ the Viagra!! U actually cracked up when he said "the only thing that can help us now is.. Viagra.." hahaaa!!

  • @sauronics -- Using the principle of adding moisture which helps make the incoming air more dense? Leaning the fuel to reduce over-rich fuel-air mix and retarding spark to allow piston to reach TDC before initiating detanation would also help. A water-methanol injection system would help also -- as of course would having a turbo. Wrapping open-cell foam-rubber, burlap or wool-blanket material loosely around air-filter element & wetting w/ water would accomplish same purpose as cut-onion.

  • @MrAmansyed I agree

  • my fav special episode so far..

  • @FLAME4564 I've been to Guallatiri Volcano twice... those roads go all the way to the Bolivian border, so the Chilean Army and the Police use them for surveillance and military pursposes.., I don't think they made them... they probably kept on driving on the same paths with Unimog and pickup trucks until they eventually turned them into "roads"...

  • Men the only thing that can help us now... Viagra

  • The way he hobbles out of the car at 6 minutes killed me hahahah
