Icelandic 4X4

Paco182 · 11-14-2009, 01:59 PM

Just look up pictures on google images. A good set is called "Journey to the center of Iceland". The best video is from Top Gear, it's called Icelandic Jeep VS Snowmobile. I think it's awesome stuff. Edit:links and pictures below.

I remember that video, it's amazing. If I remember right, it's not a Jeep though, it's a Range Rover-based Bowler Wildcat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowler_Wildcat

Another good one they did was the North Pole special. Jeremy and James raced a Toyota Hilux (Tundra) to the North Pole vs. Richard on a dogsled. It's on youtube in multiple parts as Top Gear Polar Special.

Top Gear > all. New season starts tomorrow. I never know what to do with myself Sunday nights when it's not airing. They don't show it in the US, but I download it.

This is the Icelandic episode I was thinking of, only he's racing against a guy in a kayak with an outboard motor:

And here's the first part of the polar special. Parts 2 and 3 are in the sidebar.

They've done a lot of cool stuff... Raced a Bugatti Veyron across Europe vs. a private plane, a Nissan GTR vs. the bullet train, mopeds across Vietnam, and drove three cheap two wheel drive cars across the African desert. Great show.

I was referring to the V8 NO2 injected hill climbers. Specifically the video of one racing a Polaris snowmobile across water. Seen HERE on YouTube.
Any of these trucks in general on 4X4offroads. The huge tires for driving over snow look awesome. The Toyota Hilux on TopGear looks pretty cool, there's better ones on 4X4offroads.

Here's an example:
