I SO wanted to see a Jeep in the Bolivian special. I think it would have been a no-brainer, and a better choice than Hammond's FJ40.

<---HUGE Top Gear fan right here.

you would be supprised how comon xj's are over here, there highly regarded and more common the a lot of yotas etc, but still outnumbered by the green oval lol

what a lot of people like about them over here is the fact that you can get a capable off roader with a lot of comfort for cheap as chips money

Niggle = Small issue.

And by technicality, their English is correct, they had it first lmao.

And yeah, XJ's are common over the pond, as are ZJ's. I used to go every summer, cousin raced dogs outside Coventry. His neighbor had 2 XJs forever.

I beg to differ.....my old jeep has so much play in the steering wheel that is exactly what it feels like your driving, You throw the wheel and at some point the jeep turns
