must be a great life to be paid to do things like this :

anyone know more of how it went ?

This is being aired on BBC2 tonight at 9 Jan. Will probably Sky+ it and watch it one day next week.

I watched the start and recorded the rest, hard going at 7mph

[Top-shaggy]

Kept me entertained for an hour bit like when the built a complete house out of Lego ... Good fun, but a completely useless house..

The thought of the meccanno three wheeler getting approval for use on the Manx roads was a little concerning.. Does that mean they could bring it over here and use it on UK roads holding up all the traffic wherever it goes too?

[boggy]

It would not survive our bloody pot holes!!

It took them nearly 3 days to do a lap! It was a little tedious at times, but interesting to a point.

[JanBros]

saw your post too late Ben, missed it

[headcoats]

Watched it but thought they bent every rule to do the lap

The Guy Martin series is pretty good too

[Luders]

Guy is more interesting than captain slow. What's tonight's show about?

[500bernie]

Hi Ben,
I think he is going for the one man toboggan - saw a clip and it looked mental

I think there is a program about freeclimbers on tonight (don't look down) that looks alarming

[Luders]

ah yeah, that did look mad, looking forward to that now
