Top Gear with the Hilux 23/11/2003

Has anyone seen it?
It's crazy!!
It starts with them showing the 'bugger' ad for the hilux in oz and then they buy a hilux that's done 190,000 miles. They drive it into a tree and bash it a bit and then drive it down rough stairs. They then tie it to the water and it gets smashed around by high tide. They eventually fish it out after 5 hours and a mechanic works on it for about an hour, getting all the sand and everything out and without using any spare parts -- amazingly they're able to drive it back into the studio!
Then they tack it to the top gear track, drive it through their 'production studio' (some kind of barn/shed thing), then they drop a caravan on top of it and then hit it with a wrecking ball that's designed to take out skyscrapers!
Then they set it on fire and they're still able to drive it into the studio!!
Finally they put it on top of a 24 storey building that they demolished ( in a later episode ) and guess what.. it's still driveable!!
Who said Toyota engines weren't tough?
It's absolutely crazy!!

Please do paint a picture...because if you'd actually gone to that site you would have seen:
ALL TOP GEAR DOWNLOADS TAKEN OFFLINE....
looks like your picture will need to include:
Some sort of car (preferably one featured on top gear)
Some sort of landscape
and possibly a goat as well - thanks.

Yup. My bad.
Finalgear was ace when I last used it . . . and they just went to a new server/website, so I'd assumed that all was well . . .
I'll just sit over here in the corner for a while then, will I ?
