Not sure about the actual challenges that the farmers would have converting and renting out their very expensive combines but I quite like their
logic. Mind you, they would take a while getting to all the snow-blocked roads at 12 mph

... and at least in some places somethign similar is already being done: local councils have a contract with farmers to attach snowplough blades to
their tractors when needed.

The farmers have have been told they have to use white diesel since they are on the road, so many of them aren't bothering any more as fuel
costs eat most of any profit they could make.

Ah, I turned on at 8 as I was watching that excellent Graham Hill documentry. It did seem like the 'intro' bit was missing!
I was really looking forward to seeing the MP4-12c... was it on there at the beginning?
I don't have TV so went over specially to my managers house (from when I worked at Mclaren) expecting it to be on and wanting to watch with him.
Most of the episode from 8pm was that ridiulous combine harvester thing... I was embarassed I'd wasted his time!
What time did it start? Was the Macca on before 8?
Cheers,
James

Okay, weird. WTF is going on with the Mclaren? I've checked the episode guide and it's not on next week either?
I know it was briefly shown at the end of last week but that wasn't the proper review was it?
I know that the car's been to Dunsfold. I know it's been round the track driven by the Stig. I even know who beat The Stig's time in
it (and how they did it), but they're not showing it?
It's reviewed in practically every car mag out this week/month... Top Gear missed the boat and it's next series?
Or am I missing summat and it's already been on an no one's mentioned it!
Cheers,
James

You do realise it started at 8.00 ? Straight after the Graham Hill documentary on the same channel?

It only started at 8 in Engerland. In the principality we had to wait untill 5 past 10 on account of the Welsh Open Snooker final.

It's funny that they went to Norway with their "idea" - a country which already pays its farmers to keep the roads clear over
winter....
Jezza jumping headfirst into the ice was brilliant.....

In our area they went the opposite way - the farmers used to keep the roads clear, but then the councils got a nominally cheaper fixed price from some
national company to do it all - it was a disaster this year. Also as said the farmers are legally obliged to drain all the red out of their tanks and
fill with white if working on the roads - hence no hedges are being cut on the road side now.
Was the snow that Clarkson dived into actually shallow, or just frozen solid? I did laugh a lot at that.

Hugh
