**Thanks For Watching This Video**
In a Clarkson voice: "4xoverland - the greatest global adventure motoring channel... ... in the world!"
Hammond!
It can't be Clarkson..... without a pause..... somewhere.
I just watched Clarkson's Farm in one go... funny and brilliant. I just wished they had some subtitles for Gerald.... lol
@@robdotcom71same i sat down to watch the first episode last Sunday and watched all 9 in a row. He is still at the top of his game.
Andrew you're an excellent storyteller... Thoroughly enjoyable series.
car culture spans all generations and societies and i am so stoked to be apart of it!!
Congrats, Grandpa. When the whole family will look for pink or blue dress for the little one, you can consider buying the camel yellow matching your RangeRover.
Ahhh perfect! Will watch this after Quali is done in F1.
Love the vids Andrew. Road trip galore!
Enjoying this journey Andrew but I chuckled at your comment on Clarkson's pronunciation after your "spiniflex" from the CSR story. Thanks for your work.
And the absolute murderous pronunciations of most Australian towns
Just what I needed right now!
I'm a Perth fellow and prefer tall skinny tyres ... and I watched your excellent CSR series. I've been on the CSR four times over the last five years on two and four wheels. I've enjoyed your videos about the old RR.
Ditto here mate perthite running 7.5r16 on my perentie
@@radaraacf Yep I hear you. I run 215/85R16 on my D40 Nav. It walks over the sand like a camel!
Love how clear your photography is from those days. Doesn’t look like it’s that old.
I was in Windhoek staying at the same hotel as The Grand Tour and meet James May and Richard Hammond in the bar. The entourage they travel with is Epic, including specialist driving coaches. It was awesome.
Savuti and Chobe - beautiful place, we were lucky do have a pride of lions come through our camp site back in 2000 (we escaped Sydney during the Olympics). We were sitting around the fire late at night and we could hear their call - the Tour Guide said if we go sit on the truck roof, we will be able to see them. No time for cameras though. Brilliant experience and high fives all round. Loving being on the journey with you, Andrew. Its stopping me from working.
Congratulations Andrew, your grandkids will never tire of listening to your adventures 🙏
Loving your story's while you're on the road. Isn't it funny how memories come flooding back with the nostalgia of driving a vehicle that you used to own. Stay safe.
Driving 3000 miles, relying on a repair fashioned from a bit of wire found hanging off a fence?
Yep, you're back in a Land Rover vehicle again. :-P
Strangely satisfying.
You are spot on about Clarkson Hammond and May. They have the best chemistry and new Top Gear will never find anything close to that. I don't think the BBC would have fired Clarkson if they knew he would take everyone with him including Mr Wilman
It’s not their money so what’s the problem 🌏
Adventure seems to find you and its fun to watch. Thanks
The oil pump story is excellent.
I swear he already told that one before though ;)
I probably have!
Congrats Andrew on becoming a grand dad. What an exiting time. Also your videos are just simply amazing. I learned a lot from them. Thank you Sir.
Clarkson, Hammond and May... the MONTY PYTHON of the motoring world !!!!!!!
Great I can watch this episode tonite as there is Naff All on the telly. 500 UK channels and only good stuff is on here.
So many of the places in Botswana and Namibia reflected in the still photographs in this video, are so well known to me. They invoke first hand memories.
Seeing your mates yellow T plate sparks a plethora of Series Landy memories. I Learned to drive in a white Series 3 LWB on a yellow T plate. Thanks for the memory jolt
greetings from kenya. great video as usual my brother and congratulations on becoming a grand dad am excited to discover that we also share a love for the old top gear with clarkson.. may and the hamster
I really wish you guys could all meet up one day and do something together ( grand tour meets ASPW that would be epic !)
Top Gear certainly was a masterful production series, and can never be replicated with other characters. The playful sledging and bastardry amongst the three of them, and the filming locations were epic. No two ways about it.
TopGear was all staged & scripted, aka fake (in a way).
@@Phil_McAvity Really? I am shocked. Thanks for pointing it out. Wow, who would've thought....
@@garrygraham7901 yeah watch it again, not everyone gets it straight away.
@@Phil_McAvity you nong, I was being facetious! Of course I know it was scripted. Your comment was so pointless, I thought you would see the derision in my reply. Clearly not... lol
Didn't expect to hear Andrew is a fan of the Top gear/Grand Tour trio.
Edit: I have encountered a similar issue with a fan in a 76 series Land Cruiser.
Somehow a pigeons feather went through the mesh cabin filter (it had no holes where something that big could go through) and sat skew in between the fan blade.
So when the blade turned the feather rubbed/catched against it and made a terrible noise.
awesome oil sender story, reminds me of the days my dad and I had with the many classics we owned. Makes me want to buy one again.
thank you share the beauty video
Hahaha, What a story. I think you told it before, but man, what a story!
Your right about the old stop Gear Gang, they are impossible to replace and sorely missed!
As fir your drive Andrew, your doing very well and I love your
Bush Fixing!
Looking forward to the next one, take care.
I have to point out one thing regarding you (and mine) love of OG Top Gear & Grand Tour and that is that there’s four mates “cocking about” with cars. The fourth is Andy Millman, the Producer & sometimes Director. Mr Millman is often spoken about by Jeremy fondly - believe they’re lifelong friends since High School. Either way, it’s the four of them who made TG & GT what it was. There’s a new GT out on July 31st filmed during the UK lockdown last year.
"Clarkson is an idiot, in the best possible way." My thoughts exactly. Not that the grand tour is in any way bad, but I still prefer the trio in the old series.
Loving the journey Andrew and congratulations on becoming a grandfather. Totally agree about seating. My 93 80 series GXL had the best seats of all my cars. Even better than my Prado which is 15 years newer. Looking forward to the next episode.
Loving you videos more and more, cant wait for the Troopy build vids
It's 2:54 am .. the house is without electricity..fire place & candles glowing..30% battery remains... must use it wisely, easy choice !
Mr ASW .. all the way ! ... Well , 30% anyway ... Greatest journey channel .. BY FAR !
Excellent video Andrew just hope the cows don't get out of that gate Lol ☺👍
I had a Disco 1 that truly was awesome, now got a 76 cruiser - big diff is Land Rover faults vs Cruiser leaf springs in rear v coils
Congratulations on the expected grandchild!
Really enjoy your videos, and stories, and being the proud owner of a 1972 Jeep Wagoneer (and 1977 Chevrolet p/u), completely understand your situation and stories!
I guess misery(🙄) loves company....😄
It may be because they’re expensive and rare, but it’s a massive shame that you hardly ever see Range Rover classics anymore. They are great cars.
Can't wait to watch this!!! PT - 8 :)
It's inspiring watching Andrew have an adventure.
love this series, thanks for sharing. My 86 Range Rover makes the exact noise with the blower fan. Now I know what to look for
Some fence wire 🤭😂
Congrats for your grandchild!
I have enjoyed your stories, advice and filed many of your comments away for when I might have something go wrong. Now, I'm a fairly sentimental guy, so I can see the joy the old Rover is bringing you, but I can't help to wonder how long the novelty will go until you get another Land Cruiser, Hilux, 4Runner or something more reliable. I'm cringing as you drive on what's gonna break next. Wishing you the best on this adventure, and thanks for taking us along.
You’re not alone…just make wrong turns and that voice will pop up🤘🏻
Laughed out loud at the oil sensor failing. Always appreciate the stories old fella.
Massive Top Gear fan here. I absolutely loved the series and still watch the old videos from time to time. I loved the one where they used a Range Rover to cross Bolivia, finding the source of the Nile in station-wagons, etc. I'm in a 100% agreement with your comments about the show. I felt that the first seasons of Grand Tour were rather disappointing because it just seemed that they were trying to forcefully capture the magic of the old show. However it is completely true.. the relationship in between Clarkson, Hammond & May is absolutely real. If they weren't proper mates, Hammond & May would have stayed creating Top Gear after Clarkson was fired.
The Farm on Amazon is great. Lamborghini tractor and plenty of laughs.
Is the tractor too big?
@@Malc664 Yes 😂
@@seanudal I think so too. Or widen the gates. 🙂
Thoroughly enjoying this series. The stories are great, as is the entire thing. Thank you!
i didn't know that i could like your channel more, but your Top Gear love has done that.
Top gear was a very good channel with those 3 guys
Great story, great episode. Love the Top Gear remarks and the engine failure story. Andrew, your content is superior to almost everything I watch on RUclips.
Hi Andrew, been watching your videos for years and IMHO must say that your work experiences and wisdom through storytelling is a masterpiece. Taking us to a journey like no other and as if we’re just sitting infront or lounging at the backseats. Also congats for being a grandad! - been laughing out loud at myself if the “small voice” you’ve heard is the same person who hitched ride with you- saying “mate you forgot to drop me off, turn-on the engine and let’s go”! 😂
What a great story, love love love.
Was it in Alabama where the Top Gear guys painted signs on their cars like 'Hillary for President' and 'Country music sucks'? I think they feared for their lives that day after trying to refuel at a local fuel station when the local boys turned up. Another series was in South America somewhere where their convoy was attacked by locals. It was a great show, i still watch re runs and still laugh at some of their antics.
And congrats...being a grandpa will be a unique experience.
Wish you and your family (+expecting) great health from west java👍
Love it Andrew , we are in lockdown here in Sri Lanka …enjoying your videos everyday ….
Congrats to your daughter and son-in-law on their imminent arrival and congrats to you and Gwynn on becoming grandparents!
Throughly enjoyed your oil pressure story, such a relatable predicament when logic catches you out.
Great story and great real-life road-fix!
Congratulations on the immenent arrival of the grandchild! Loving this series :)
Excellent video!!!
My wife and l adore Gwynn, you two are absolute soul mates.
Wait to you see Gwynn's reaction to the RR . . .
@@4xoverland LOL
Enjoy your videos and my whole family enjoyed Top Gear and Grand Tour.
A Land Rover stops leaking fluids, when it is empty!
Congrats grandpa...spot on on the old top gear..loved it.
G'day Andrew, the body of water to your left when crossing the Nullarbor is called the Great Southern Ocean, I've sailed that body of water a few
times & it can be a rough place when it wants to be. We've made the trip some 13 times now & have loved every one of them, I most love the vastness
& isolation not to mention the night sky that is just absolutely stunning Mate.
Were enjoying the ride along & great work as ever.
I feel you on all that glass. We've yet to get tint on our Discovery 1 and just did a weeklong trip here in Arizona! Now I understand why they fitted some of them with a second AC unit for the back!
Absolutely loving this series! I just bought my first 80's 4wd too! 1986 Fj62, hopefully, I'll have the chance to travel as you have.
This is such a great channel. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Agreed. The old Top Gear number one. That includes their subsequent shows.
It would be fantastic to have one of the 3D cameras mounted inside , so we can pan around whilst you are talking to us, kind of like being a passenger. Great show, cant wait for more!
Epic mate
The old school bush mechanic
Wishing you and your kiddos all the best with the new bubba
I still watch old top gear on a daily basis
If you know Clarkson at all, you'll know that he purposely mispronounces names of cities or cars just to make fun. Great show that Grand Tour, these guys are good mates and having a wonderful time messing with each other, to our delight. Best wishes for the rest of your trip, we are all watching! :)
Eish, there is that watch again, love this adventure with the RR
In part 6 there is a flash of a photograph showing a sheepskin seat cover. In their day they were ubiquitous, but today seem unobtainable. Would one solve your comfort issues with the vinyl seat covering?
Loving this series, particularly for your stories of incidents that shaped your vast experience with practical back roads ingenuity.
Nothing like a sheepskin seat cover.
On that note…
I feel the same way every time you say PAT-treon like it belongs to postman PAT
it is Pay-treon
You’re welcome 😜😜
😂
Yes as in patron...
😂
Great stories andrew !
Good story. 👏
A little weld joining the cog to the shaft would have solved that problem. One simple step to avoid a catastrophic engine failure - money well spent.
That is such a beautiful rover!
I’ve use black nasty tape before to stop fumes and dust being sucked in through the back doors. Worked well at stopping both.
Agree....First "Top Gear" show was by far the best. There are many copies.....some pretty entertaining, but none compare to the original.
It was actually the second Top Gear show.
@@rogerstarkey5390 - I believe you are correct.
Excellent series Andrew. Ive done that drive alone a couple of times, its not easy!! I admire you doing in an old Landy:)
When you get the windows tinted, have them use ceramic tint. Even CLEAR ceramic blocks the heat! (And I think you can put the clear on the windshield for extra heat block).
What a story!
The way you fixed the noise issue reminded me of McGayver who used anything to solve problem
Thanks, great stories.
Every time Andrew gives some one a lift, his car fails, first in the African storm and then in Namibia.
So still going ok, nice job with the wire in the fan, try gaffer tape round the rear window gap, I know it will be a pain as you will have to remove when you park up at night but could give you some smell free air during the day.
Awesome story!
Fantastic story in Botswana thanks.
Unbelievable oil light saga!!
Now you've reminded me of an old joke about the Range Rover I heard as a teen.
Legend has it that when the Pajero was launched, the lads at Solihull snuck out and bought one to pull apart and see what they were up against. After a bit of performance testing, they noticed there didn't seem to be any dust inside the vehicle, which puzzled them immensely. One engineer came up with the bright idea of parking it overnight with a canary inside, like they do in the mines. A Range Rover was brought off the lot outside and another canary placed inside that for a fair comparison test. All the doors and windows were closed and the vehicles locked.
Come the following morning, the lads opened up both vehicles. The canary in the Pajero was dead on a front seat, apparently having died from suffocation, leading to all sorts of speculation about door seals, the HVAC system etc. Then they opened up the Range Rover, fearing the worst, but found that the canary had escaped.
No Joke. This happened! But it wasn't a canary. It was a badger.
loved the story
Towed for 800km?!?! As a Land Rover owner, this was an absolute horror story-time for me, Andrew.
