Awesome program tonight, loved it

[iooi]

What a great program.

This whole series has been great and showed how easy it is to overcome many problems.

I mean the way to get over the pond. Pipe insulation and thin ply..... Shear genius

I would love to see that posed to a group of uni engineering students and see what gems they would come up with.

That was cool.... made cooler by the fact that the amateurs beat the enthusiasts!

Brooklands rocks! There's tons of cool stuff there and it's friendly too, we'd only been in the clubhouse for a couple of minutes, checking out a gorgeous old BSA when an old fella came up and asked us if we wanted to stash our lids and leathers in his office!

I got to ride the (remains of) track ten years ago on my old 1930 bike, the test hill is fun.

Just watched it. Another great episode.

James May documentaries are awesome.

A youthful (pre-beard) 1930 Ariel stuffs it up the inside of Carlos Fandango going into turn 1:

Just watched it and was rather inspired.

I can't imagine how they're going to do 10 miles next week though especially at those slow speeds. Dullest episode ever ever for James May? It awaits to be seen.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

[WildGoose]

That was superb, i've not watched the meccano one or the plasticine one yet, went on iplayer tonight for something to do and realised missed the scalextric one by an hour.

Iplayer sucks serious balls for streaming stuff if your connection isn't quite up to it.

Such a cool episode though.

I'm personally looking forward to the Lego one that is much alluded to in the open titles.

My childhood was one big Lego obsession! Might have to pull some out of the attic soon, although I'm not sure I see the point in building a house out of Lego I find it much more satisfying and creative making smaller scale models.

Big lego constructions and an air-weapon FTW.

I can't do online viewing, as my internet connection is duff. And if I could, I might fit into the 'addicted to the net' category as mentioned by someone somewhere somewhen on this forum. Thanks anyway.

Answer:
Download the iPlayer application and leave it downloading in the background. Once complete watch away. Taking you laptop to work to do this might be an idea if you internet is really fooked.
