Jeremy, Richard and James are on a mission to build a bridge over the River Kwai in Thailand. However, in order to do that they must first navigate through a country that has been largely closed to westerners for over 40 years: Burma. Clip taken from part 1 of the Burma Special.

@Carsonist 9 лет назад

The idea that adding more lanes will solve traffic jams is seriously antiquated. Or so I thought until I saw this; turns out those lanes just reduce traffic to nothing!

I love how those cops are absolutely ok with them drag racing. Here in Iowa, you have some freaking roads so empty, you have a better chance of seeing a ghost before you see another vehicle. Yet if a cop sees you racing, chances are they are going to pull you over.

@MeisterYodarkus 9 лет назад

When Jeremy drove the KTM XBow he said that he will only be testing cars with roofs. Now we see him holding a umbrella because he thought it would be a good idea to get rid of his roof. His logic doesn't seem to be very reasonable.

10 years ago when I was young and ignorant I agreed with Jeremy on the number of lanes being a good thing, but now that I'm older and studied transport and planning in the Netherlands I know that the problem in London/Paris/etc is that there are too many cars taking up tons of space for too few people and the solution isn't more space for cars, but less and more public transport/cycling/walking.

@juldwarrior3169 Год назад

The reason why there is so much lanes on the road is because it was designed to have 2 peepers. One as a road and the ader as an runway for military aircraft. So if in a war any of the main runways where destroy they can use this highway instead.
