Vehicles
Three Land Rovers are seen during the series, but the expedition actually included a fourth, the film crew vehicle. They were equipped with a V8 petrol engine and slight suspension modifications to accommodate for slightly larger tires. The roof racks carried necessary supplies and equipment including rooftop tents where the team spent many nights out of the cold. The bumpers carried winches and lighting for rescue and low visibility driving. There were few troubles with the vehicles as a whole, but the punishing roads took its toll over time. Strut and exhaust bolts loosened up in South America, windows dropped into doors in the Outback, and a U-joint broke in Siberia. The biggest obstacle was fuel economy, which averaged around 12 mpg.Parkinson's Disease
