Top Gear USA S04E06

(*sorry for the late post)

On that episode of Top Gear USA, the boys try to turn their used car of choice into car boats. Adam goes for the 80's Jeep Wrangler while Rut goes for the 1999 Golf Cabrio and Tanner goes for the sporty Plymouth Conquest, which is one of the Americanzed versions of the legendary Mitsubishi Starion.

The first challenge involves the speed test and find out if their car boats still capable on the highway. In the first challenge, Adam's Jeep Boat is the slowest and the most pathetic on the road whereas Tanner wins the challenge

Build quality is the next challenge for their car boats and it involves slalom cornering. Again, the Jeep boat is rubbish on this challenge while Rut's cabrio loses its top. Another win for Tanner and his Turboat...

As the boys headed for the next challenge, Adam's Jeep boat is facing some mechanical issues.

With Tanner and Rut arrived on their destination at the park, Adam arrives with the new set of... small wheels for his car boat.

With their boats on deck, the challenge involves crossing through the Lake Ontario from New York to Toronto. Will they sink or float? Things are getting to pretty risky for the boys...

With the Conquest and Wrangler faced their fate on the seas, only the VW Cabrio boat stands up and with Adam and Tanner now in Rut's VW, the journey to Toronto gets even more troublesome upon their encounter with the Canada Coast Guard.

Sadly, as the journey continues, the VW's motor gone caput, leaving the boys stranded on Canadian waters. Not for Tanner because he summoned his mate on a jet ski to get Tanner out.

With Adam and Rut stranded on Canadian waters, they risked everything and they managed to turn the motor on but can they make it?

12 hours later, they almost made it to Toronto and onto the finish line, they worked together to send the VW Cabrio on the land. Success at last! Or is it? Oh well...
