So apparently the Icelandic Minister for Transport was the president of the drag-racing club. LOLS that's how you do it!!!!

in this episode clarkson talks about wearing jeans

I'm from Iceland and I know I was only 5 years old when this aired... but I really doubt that there where no drunk drivers back then. Today there is a ton of them all the time. Also, driving fast or recklessly outside of roads (glaciers don't count) can get you arrested or fined.
Also alot of people are commenting here that ''they miss these good old times'', and that alot has changed in the past 20 years, well... I think mostly the icelandic media has changed. Fx. even though crime rates are simmilar as back then people feel less secure than before, and there for less free to do crazy things. Basicly... back then people where more relaxed.

This video made me want to go to ICELAND.

Ironic how they played Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell at the beginning, and years later Clarkson would make fun the people who listen to it.

I love the way it's Andy Wilman doing translation

Those Vikings are crazy as ever!  May the gods bless them all!

This seems like the exact opposite of Switzerland

That's something I haven't seen in a while..
Production quality!

I'm from Alaska and this place looks like home to me!

I  wish not my country but my people had more in common with them and learned a few thing from them. My full honor to your way of life. Wish i can visit this country someday.

2:55 That juice box is the real winner.

Can't believe I am just finding this video now, but for the first time I have found a place I would truly move to if I had the means to do so.

have to say. Icelandic women are fit and the country looks great!

I remember watching extreme machines in the mid 90s and watching this exact footage in awe

grew up in the PNW   has used a wave runner in winter  has done so in shorts

when you gotta tow a boat thats engine quit back, and your only option is to use a couple jetski style units as tugs... you do what you gotta do....

also note: it was cold as hell, but we changed, and took the units back out and went fishing off the island just above the hole the boat was headed for, had a nice little camp fire on the beach, and no the authorities/cops didnt mind, no way we were staring a wild fire even on the island... not with it being where it was... nore the time of year..(wet out but was the first truly nice day that winter.. we caught enough fish we had to have somebody meet us at the beach to pack it out, didnt feel safe trying to get 3 just barely legal(large) sturgeon to the docks and out... the game warden even helped us out said the fish looked great, later found out he started fishing that hole when he got the chance... heh...

Looks like paradise to me :)
Definitely on my bucket list.

I used to watch Formula Off-Road on Channel Four c. 1992

wish england was like that we have the goverment, an everyone telling us what to do an we can't have fun, iceland is fun i like that

This video solidifies my need to visit Iceland.
