As a whole, while the special was certainly entertaining, I felt disappointed. And I'm just disappointed that they feel like they have to do these like this now.
On the plus side, I always enjoy the scenery in countries I know little of, and the Esprit is still a gorgeous car!
It's like playing Top Gear Special Bingo:
- Hammond's car doesn't have handbrake on
- funny modifications to each others' cars - although, the car horn / brake was pretty funny
- cow on roof (even though May pointed it out)
- leaving your mate(s) when he eventually breaks down
- "poor route selections", including "getting lost", "surprising" dead-ends - even though everything has been surefire mapped and planned to a tee...and they travel with a massive crew
- related to the former: general idiocy like attempting to drive low sports cars in the forest or a swamp
- stuff just appears...like a pack of horses with owners. May getting injured again looked too painful to be included here, though.
- overly bulky or cumbersome "travel souvenirs" that are supposed to be carefully cared for, but not really though
- the backup car, which is never needed
Agreed!
And there are are nationalistic simpletons in every country!
Lol, I forgot about this. Seriously, mind-blowingly moronic.

I probably couldn't bear another car football game, something that's been done on the show at least two times (and one car rugby, I think). From the ending, one could learn a lot about (some) Argentinians and their simple-mindedness.

...wearing beaver hats and beaver gloves. Seriously, why?
