They winch the Chevy out of the sea, but destroy a shelter in the process. They then attempt something new, which eventually water damages the camera equipment in James’ car so they end up just calling a taxi instead to the local town to get a tow truck. He unwraps what turns out to be a Chevrolet Silverado… which won’t start. They attempt to pull Hammond’s car ashore but eventually tell him to drive it out himself. It turns out Hammond is stuck in the sea with his car, although the car is packed in a waterproof polythene so not damaged. He’s been thrown overboard by a ‘shipping company’. May jokes that the Wrangler is a popular car in the gay community before seeing a distress beacon. Clarkson pulls up in a Jeep Wrangler, and May pulls up in a Fiat Panda 4×4. They begin at 4am, in the city of Cartagena on its tropical beach. Specifically, they’ve been asked to take photographs to be used as Amazon screen savers. They explain how Amazon has asked them to become wildlife photographers. The episode starts like any other, in the tent. It comes in two parts, with this being the guide to part one.
The second episode of The Grand Tour is the Colombia Special.
