Toyota 4×4 vs. Dog Sled to the North Pole

“I admire Hammond for what he is doing. I admire all Arctic explorers. But I feel the time has now come to say, ’Let’s see how easily we can get to the top of Everest. Let’s see how easily we can get to the North Pole.’ Maybe we could forge a career as the world’s worst explorers.”  

Surprisingly, James was ahead of me on that one.

“What is going to make it nice is a gin and tonic. Would you like one?”

“What? Of course I’d like one. But we can’t have a gin and tonic, because we’re in the Arctic Ocean.”

“I’ll make you one.”

“What? … Ha ha ha! You’ve got gin!”

“Uh huh.”

“And because we’re in international  waters, there’s no drink-driving laws! Have you got any ice?”

“That’s a stupid question, isn’t it? Will you slow down while I slice the lemon?”

   That was an excellent episode of an entertaining show. I don’t know if it’s available on DVD but if it is it’s worth checking out.

   I believe it’s called the “Top Gear Arctic Special”.
