Get them out to Afghanistan now and stop pissing about with JC!!!

But how amazing were they? The one that made a bridge FFS! And the one that looked like SirKillalot from Robotwars.

What amazing technology they were showing off (which i guess was the point of the article). Get them out there now!!!

Didn't see it but took ds to an "armed forces" day recently an they had 1 of their new armoured transport vehicles.The Sargeant guy who was talking to all the children was fab and said they were all to be deployed in Afghanistan ASAP folowing concerns about prev. armoured vehicles.Was interesting.

I watched last nights, the Army bit was brilliant & those vehicles WOW! I also enjoyed the 'race' against the PO.
I always enjoy watching Top Gear as it brings back good memories for me. My late father used to be the Aerodrome Manager at Dunsfold for Hawker Siddley/British Aerospace until he retired 30 years ago & as a teenager I used to ride my pony around the airfield at the weekends when there was no flying!

lol at you lot. dh got stroppy from the beginning - 'why aren't they manning the 50 cal?'

the bridge goes a lot faster than that.

he was v excited from about thursday though, and had been telling me it was going to be on.

gratuitous gravel shots and a nice bit of pr.
