TopGear (30/7)

[KBaB]

Anyone see topgear last night?

When they we're testing vans a 747 was behind but it was a bit odd (hard to explain).

It looked like it had fuel pods under its wings and the engines we're closer together (poss joint together).

Anyone see it/know what it was?

Does this help?

On a slightly different subject, what are the two (what look like) Lockheed Electra's doing there? They've been in the back ground of a couple of episodes now, just curious, thanks in advance.

What a show eh? This combines the best of both worlds. I can see some great cars/vans/ caravans and still get glimpses of assorted props. I just wish they would put the aircraft in the background for a few seconds longer. Full marks to the team for a great but short series.

You were supposed to be watching the vans man, the vans!!!

One valuable lesson from Top Gear. Under no circumstances should you get JC or Captain Slow to move your stuff in a van. As for the Stig driving that police car....What will become of the European 747??

that 747s been used for some tv work rumour has it a bond film.
