The Arctic Cruiser @ Cookstown!

Thursday 11th June 2009 the day after returning from the road trip I was re-charged for another journey out to Cookstown to witness the only truck to reach the North Pole.  It was the heavily modified Toyota Hilux that Top Gear drove to the North Pole, it was displayed in Mid Ulster Cars ending on Friday 12th June 2009.

I had to have fun 🙂

Arriving there and noticing it instantly at the entrance of the place, apart from that it was nothing like the cars that were being sold there, not even the normal Toyota Hilux.

Examining the truck closely you can even see the damage done to the bumpers as it raked through the heavy snow of the North Pole driven by Jeremy Clarkson and James May.

They even brought a polar bear back from their Arctic visit and it was on display along with the truck.  I couldn’t help by just standing there looking at it so I had to have a go on it myself 🙂
