It's past their bed time! After all, they need all the beauty sleep they can get :twisted: Did I say that? Not like me at all :shock: :lol:

I really enjoyed the show and thought this section was great. I took
it all in the lighthearted vein that it was meant. To me off roading
is a fun pastime and I have gone beyond giving stuff what the bobble
hat brigade think. I don't think there opinion of us was or ever will
be good whatever we do. The article was typical of the blokes messing
around stuff that the Top Gear team are famed for. I think that
several references were made to the complains from bobble hats that
Jeremy had after his climb a mountain escapade, J.C for Prime
minister.

I watched this section of top gear and couldn't beleive their intention was to go out and upset ramblers. There were various sections that I thought showed 4x4 owners in a bad light and comments from JC about this is the way to do it this Terios isn't damaging the land when he drove thru a hedge and chewed up a lot of the field I found very cringe worthy. I enjoy greenlaning and would hope to have many more opportunities to do it.

Watched it, enjoyed it, was surprised at how well that little thing did! and was also Peed off at what damage it "could" do after calling it greenlaning!
However!!!
The damage is now done, I talked to my brother earlier who asked if I had seen it, He has been laning with me and knows a little bit about it, but was very surprised at my suggestion that it wasn't on green lanes but private land! As far as he was aware they said green lanes, so it must be!!
I'm afraid that he is representative of joe public and what they will believe!
Mind you, after the caravan one they did I now believe that that is how all caravan holidays go!!!!

As someone who was caravanning aged six months, that episode was truly cringeworthy. The car they picked was nothing like powerful enough or indeed heavy enough to tow the caravan in a safe and reasonably fast manner, to say nothing of their doing things that I'd have known to be a bad idea aged five...
If they want loads of lovely noise and a decent turn of speed I suggest they try a motorhome next time. You don't usually expect a three and a half ton vehicle with the general outline of a housebrick to do 80mph (where legal) and sound like WW3 when hammered up steep hills in third! :lol:
