be careful about taking company cctv footage, under the data ptrotection act the persons image is his own property, while you can watch it live, the only people who can watch the replay without his permission are the police or your safety and standards section so techinicly you are already in breach of the act by watching it.
Saying that I bet it was a good laugh.

That was a great TG moment... But a bit of a setup I think, everyone knows Rascals tip over if you're not careful.

I had a Rascal once. Took it for its MOT to a place that had a flat bed brake tester, you drive onto hi-grip coated plates and then brake and it measures the force and then the weight and works out how good the brakes are.

The van failed on no rear service brakes. Handbrake was fine.

I took it away and stripped them, absolutely perfect condition.

Retested and the same result, except this time I was watching from the side.

Due to the hi-grip surface, there was so much grip on the front wheels that the rear wheels came off the ground (stoppie in a van anyone?? ) , hence no braking force.

In the end I had to take it to a place with a roller tester. Got my money back at least for the incorrect failure, but didn't get anything for the wasted time stripping the brakes for no reason.

Fantastic... A mate of my brother's managed to tip his getting it out of the driveway, after putting a rather heavy mixing desk along one side and an empty flight case along the other. On the plus side, apparently it was very easy to pick back up.

Show me something on Top Gear that isn't a setup? All of those races across Europe when they just arrive at about the same time? Yeah right... Will miss it over the summer mind.

There was one TG thing that was pretty exciting I though, the one when he drove a deisel Audi from London to scotland and back on a single tank.

Jesus. For some reason that sounded a bit sad.
