A tour of the world looking at other motoring cultures.
Japan
Jan 5, 1995
Japan is in love with the car, and the people there spend a fortune on customizing their cars. But with over 5 million cars in Tokyo alone, don’t expect to get anywhere.
Vietnam
Jan 12, 1995
Making due with the leftover cars from Russian assistance and Americans scrambling to get out, in Vietnam, if it moves, it’s a car, and it’s fine. Only in Vietnam will you find a used to be Ford Galaxy that has been modified to seat 20 – without getting any bigger. But things are changing and the Vietnamese while driving bicycles and scooters are dreaming of owning their own Mercedes Benz. Will their culture survive?
Detroit
Jan 19, 1995
With heavy doses of the music of Motown, Jeremy waxes nostalgic over the glory days of the muscle car.
Iceland
Jan 26, 1995
Iceland is a diamond in the rough. Very rough! To live there takes a special kind of crazy. From driving up vertical cliffs in 1000 hp nitrous breathing vehicles, to trekking over glaciers and even over open water, the people of Iceland say, “Why not?”. Why not indeed!
Italy
Feb 2, 1995
Great architecture, great weather, great food, great wine, and to drive there is to live!
India
Feb 9, 1995
The driving test is amazingly simple and takes only a couple of minutes. But nothing can really prepare you for driving in India.
