I assume this one will be next week then. That looks frightening. I remember seeing that on Top Gear, i was getting tense just watching it.

There was always a risk that clarkson wouldn't go over the edge :(

I'm sure they invented a number of hilarious comedy close shaves to keep the viewer guessing nonentheless.

I've been down death road in Bolivia on a mountain bike, absolutely breathtaking. starting at the top in freezing conditions finishing in tropical heat in Coirico (sp?).

Top gear was a bit engineered if you watch it closely, where Clarkson has actually turned round when he passes the bus. Still the drop is unbelievable, as 200 deaths in the 60 years its been open testifies. Would love to do it again though.

You think? Don't tell me that everything those three funsters do is actually a stunt for thin comedy effect?

I know but I don't want to shatter everyones illusions that Top Gear is 100% genuine!!

To be fair to Clarkson, the point where he was hanging of the side was right at the start of the road with the steepest drops and he was actually looking down a ridiculously long way. Its just that he was travelling down an therefore wouldn't have been on that side!

Over there
Will watch again tonight as last week was great t.v. It was pretty scary at the end for sue Perkins and Charlie Borman in the Arctic tundra. I half expected the mighty Boosh boys to jump out and launch into " ice flow nowhere to go, blinded by the blinding whiteness of the tundra..... Check it out"
