    Land Rover on Top Gear tonight.

    For those that haven't seen it, Top Gear tonight has the Defender driving up the dam wall. I remember much being written about this in the past but it's the first time I will have seen it.
    7:30 on nine

    Cheers

    Would have missed it if you hadn't put this post up.

    Enjoyed it - and recorded it. Looked VERY steep - no wonder Richard looked genuinely scared.

    Yeah I'd have said, 'No way!
    Some nice Landy footage in the report though.

    I watched thr L.R. bit.
    Not sure about the red Defender in the studio bit, but I reckon the part about the L.R. being winched up the dam has been on before, because I remembered the bit about it not being able to go over the top of the dam?

    They made it all the talking head, the special winch and a winch motor on a gimbal going where no normal vehicle engine would ever even run. Then the premise of the stunt was negated anyway.

    Not one of the better TG segments, by a looooong shot.

    I see this Thursday night is being promoted as Clarkson's last adventure or something. Must record it.
