#Top Gear: Bolivia Special

[transformers0]

Abigail: What's your phobia? Mine is babysitting.

Lucky: Heights. And bears. And rats.

Maricela: Manual labour.

Pru: That's not a real phobia, that's just bone-idle laziness.

I think that was pretty good of me, to donate my battery to you. Yes, it was. Yes, it was.

any cool movies you've seen recently or want to recommend?

they aren't exactly movies but some top gear specials are feature length and some of them are very fun to watch. the Bolivia special for example, just the geography is very engaging. the portion where they drive across the altiplano has some genuine tension. The Vietnam and Burma specials were also fun, they don't even drive cars in a car show. Those two are quite racist though, both from the part of how the specials are done (like how currency is approached) and from the presenter's part. Just the fact they call it Burma when at the time it had been called Myanmar for like 20 years is very orientalist IMO. But, they have very enjoyable and interesting parts. In the Burma special, for example, they enter the state of Shan just after a ceasefire in the civil war is signed, and the presenters have a dinner with the state's military (?). Also the bridge building part, that covers most of the second part, is a blast, probably one of the best segments of top gear and they don't even do anything with cars. It's also the episode where Clarkson says a racial slur and he almost lost his job over it (wish he did tbh)

Oh dude yeah he so is. I honestly like the long white hair more than the grey-brownish he sported before.

That being said, in the Bolivia special in general but specifically where they’re in that boat at the equator… I was like oh. *oh*.

The grey hair makes him silver foxy and hmmmmmmmmmmmm yeah. I swear every Top Gear Special they did really had something for everyone...... (I totally was watching to learn about cars,,,,)

What really happened in the Bolivia Special

James: Listen, Richard. In order to rescue Jeremy, we're going to split up. Otherwise, we might both get taken down.

Richard: What's with the "one of us might die" tone?

Richard: Wait...don't tell me...you're planning to sacrifice yourself for Jeremy?

James: Listen, Richard. If it's for Jeremy's sake, I don't care if you die.

Richard: I'll kill you first, you bastard!
