As would be totally the norm, our three intrepid car enthusiasts have chosen quite inappropriate cars for the task at hand. Obviously the cars require modifications which, again per the norm, aren't quite extensive enough or as robust as needed. Would we expect anything less? The question of are those modifications good enough is constant.

Just getting the cars to someplace named Mari-something proved to be the easy part as they arrived in a most memorable ridiculously long coal/ore train. Surprisingly, James spearheaded what turned out to be a proper vehicle extraction off this weird delivery. Of course, that's a good thing as they'll be plenty of opportunities to breakdown and wreck the cars in due time on the "road" to Dakar. That said, there's plenty of hardships with the proper measures of problem solving and horseplay.

The "Sand Job" is a highlight returning to the old, iconic and fantastic adventures (i.e. Misadventures). This is the entertainment factor that made a car show an institution and is a most welcome return. Absolutely fantastic episode. Oh yeah, the cars. Amazing that all three made it and pretty much spot-on as to which I might imagine faired the best and worst. Plus, we get the obligatory explosion in a most clever way!
