    Quite an interesting show They were showing land rovers in the trailer so maybe they will be featured in a future episode.

    Rimmer still looked and talked like Rimmer!

    Thought the commentary for the Rapide was a bit OTT; good footage though.

    Was impressed by the steam truck.

    I watched it last night, interesting that the English concieved the high speed tank, only to have it perfected by the Germans in the mid 30's to be used against them.and I can remember the Mallard setting the world steam speed record, it was big news at the time and was shown at the movies in the newsreels.

    I assume you mean the Napier Deltic diesel engine, as fitted to the Ton class minesweeper , started with an over grown shot gun cartridge. Bob
