I've been told Top Gear did one of their comedy sketches revolving
around green laning, did anyone catch it? I might have to see if it's
on iPlayer.

It's on BBC iPlayer. Clarkson as the fox and Hammond with 1 HP!

Cheers

yes. I saw it. Not really a lot to do with green laning, and i hope
that people are sensible enough to realise this! (though i bet theres
somebody wearing a bobble hat already writing their complaint
letter!). It was entertaining (as top gear generally is!). Plenty of
rambler digs!.

clarkson was a fox (driving a brown 4x4 thing), and was chased by the
hunt. It involved him tearing through fields and hedges and woodland
while being chased. Looks like it was all just filmed on a private
estate rather than on any lanes! (he was mainly in fields and the
like).

It will be on iplayer.

How much are we betting some dribble of bobble hat arse prolapse rings in to
moan, even though it was on private land & quite funny.

That heap of cock or whatever the f.ck it was called didn't do that bad
actually.

I am sure I spotted the cover for the towing eye missing from the bumper
part way through. I think perhaps My Clarkson had a bit of help off camera
getting unstuck.

The camera wagon following the hampster looked like a 90 V8 that i've seen
working at Chelt Racecourse during Gold Cup. Said 90 is a nice sounding
beast. So i would guess thats what did the pulling out of the Terios thing
what Hammond was driving.

What Hamster was driving? ah you mean the horse- big brownish thing tail one
end head other, Hamster hanging on like grim death in the middle. Hamster
does of course have a few Landies of his own
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YhejSkCkyPo as well as his Series 1 and if he
still has it the old RRC. You don't suppose he loaned the camera crew the
110?

I've just watched it and suspect it's not going to be held up as
particularly useful by the green laning community ;-)

Gerroff! It got stuck at least 3 times!
