What do you expect, it's 5th gear :roll:
I'd not be surprised if all you heard was how 4x4 are killing the planet, choking up the scholl run and murdering pedestrians "then after the break, watch me do some doughnuts in another pointless small car with no boot".
I never watch it, they're all such a bunch of wannabe's without the guts to admit they're just "cocking about".

If you open the PDF , it details the braking system/brake force appliable

Yes, the Discovery was launched on one of the preserved lines near Plymouth, perhaps Dart Valley?? (as it was unveiled to the press on Plymouth Ho!)
It was a Police liveried model, towing 3 coaches.
The 2A was also utilised in a similar way for a press-day in the 60's
