Makes a change to see Clarkson do something interesting for a change.
Trespassing on one of Badger's mountains with a Disco3, didn't catch the
name, but it didn't show him drive it down again.... wussy.

Thats because he didn't, and IIRC, once he'd got home and swtiched on his
mobile, there was a very ****ed off member of the prod team bollocking him
for having the keys in his pocket still

Hehe, yep the downhill "sledge effect" maybe scared him! (I know it scares
me!!) Story was, he was helicoptered away after filming had finished and it
took them 2 days to get the disco back down as he'd only gone and ****ed off
with the keys in his pocket.........
I think that was right up in the far north west of the country, about
another 100 miles or so north of where I am. Still counts as my "back
garden" though, I s'pose...?

Was that the "best of..." where in another sketch he was being chased
by a tank? Shame it wasn't a bit quicker....

I was convinced I recognised some of the road scenes as the back road
from Salen to Ferryport on Isle of Mull, but I didnt recognise the
name of the mountain either so maybe it wasnt!

You should have nipped up with some spare keys morning after and shown him
how it was done. I reckon he crapped himself and how did he manage to get
stuck coming downhill, he didn't read the ground at all.

I missed the program ( plasteringe )but surely the clip to show was
young Hamster in the Bowler pity he doesn't post on here in view of his
affliction ( landroveritis ).The last person in the world to be allowed
to play in 4x4 is Jeremy in view of his ability to get stuck with very
little provocation remember the Frontera 2 wheels / grass = stuffed

And he rolled a demo Jeep belonging to Chrysler with 300 miles on it and
stuffed the roof and front. I'm surprised they let him loose in that
Bentley at 180 mph with his interpretation of control ( If you can drive
well you should be able to drive anything).
