Top Gear: Botswana Special produced by the BBC.
Plot: Jeramey, James, and Richard are told to buy a used car in Botswana by the studio. They are only told that their cars must not be suitable for off roading. Once they arrive, the trio discovers they must drive across the nation of Botswana in previously-owned cars of questionably merit. An enormous salt desert, wild animals, and constant breakdowns complicate their journey. However, if they fail to maintain their cars, they will still complete the trip...in an old Voltswagon Beetle.
Genre: Cars, Documentary
Reading Level: Not rated, but probably around a G for some language and peril.
Similar Titles: Top Gear: Viet Nam Special, Ice Road Truckers
Personal Thoughts: Due to some of the comments and challenges, particularly those involving African Stig, this show would never be produced in the United States. That said, the program does provide solid entertainment and surprisingly deep moments. A good choice for car fanciers and car know-nothings.
