I'm actually a bit scared to say this cause I think I will have the shit beaten out of me, but ...
... does anyone else feel like these challenges are slowly getting kind of repetitive? Not that I would have minded them undertaking this enormous task (after all I gave it a 10/10), but I think if they were to do the same thing at another place, it might get a specific sense of boredom to it. I mean it would still be epic: the scenery, the danger and everything. But I think that within this very epicness, it's more or less the same as before.
I rate Vietnam so high because they didn't do it in cars. It exposed them to a new dynamic and I think both the misery and the exhilaration helped bond them as a threesome.
I don't think the Polar Special nor the "Factual Muscle Car" Road Trip suffered for using new, advanced machines. And I liked Top Gear Australia's "Outback Adventure" with the Q7, LX570 and Range Rover Sport.
Alas, since TGA has already done such a thing, I suppose the boys, should they choose Australia, will need to be in clapped out Holdens and Fords. I expect Jeremy will choose a VK Commodore (V8 powered, of course), Richard would probably go for a Ford XE Falcon, and I expect James would choose the Holden Apollo because it's actually a Camry and therefore reliable.
So perhaps they can cross the Canadian Arctic or Siberia in a 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged (Jeremy), 2010 200-Series Land Cruisers (Richard) and god knows what James would drive. I'd say a Volkswagen Touareg, except it's German.
