For anyone who likes the topgear show, 4wding and kiting this episode had a bit of everything and was a good show for entertainment value I thought.

Here is a link to some shorts of the show

That was an amazing show, the kite was an Eola or Air Evo I think, non depower 4 line on handles. They did not use it much, cos they had no harness, good to see though.

The things they did to that Hilux though, very impressive, and funny!!

We have a V6 Hilux 4wd, previous model, and its almost unstoppable in sand and crap conditions, just like their diesel 07 version.

We watched some other weird Amazing Dare cr@p show last night and they advertised that next week they will have the Paul Menta (who I heard is Em's new squeeze) jet ski tow up incident where Paul is nearly killed.
Wish they just destroyed that footage and wonder how many more incidents it will spawn from those that think they can do better or know more.??

Cya and

I feel sorry for the Arctic truck guys who lent them the hilux cause I reckon it will have needed a major overhaul when it got back in the shop.

Remember that episode where they tried to stop a 1984 model hilux?

- They ran it into a wall
- They drove it down some stairs
- They moored it at the low tide mark on a boat ramp
- They dropped it (I think)
- They dropped a caravan on it
- They set it on fire
- They put it on top of a high rise which was subsequently exploded

Have I missed anything?

I have the 1982 version and it's pretty much the same...
