Responsible off-roading by Top Gear
Mace:
Did anyone catch the bit when the ground anchor started to slip under tension, so one of the blokes just jumped on it with his size 10 wellies and it pulled him along too. And don't forget the LR build quality...the door trim fell off in the peat bog.
Even my brother-in-law who's only been a passenger off-road once with me said "he's holding the bloody cable!"
RRC:
I found it quite enjoyable really. Would the Disco 3 be so memorable had it been driven in a 'play and pay.'
But if anyone disagrees (and by the looks of things there are), go ahead and tell ol' Terry Wogan on Points of View.
Door trim falling off...... it's expected if its buried in pete.
The idea of driving up the mountain shows the excellent capabilities of the Disco, and the success that Land Rover (and Ford) have achieved over the past few years.

It's suprisingly how those kind of anchors work. Generally they need a bit of mass on them to make them dig to start with before they become effective.
I wouldn't recommended them for use with cables for the previousaly mentioned reasons!

It just made me laugh, it looked like he was learning to skateboard !

You'll see cables being held like that at just about every challenge event going. Not a goo idea though. Just quick.
It made for entertaining TV. I wouldn't have taken that line. You could see it was boggy. it was a V in the gully. Water is bound to gather there.
