RMweb Gold Brinkly Posted June 19, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 19, 2011 I'm willing to wager 50p that either a piano will drop on one of those caravans, or they will all explode! Or both! Regards, Nick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natalie Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I know the fate of the caravans but it shall remain a secret 'till broadcast. They are going to fill the gap up with them... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 given TG's record when it come to caravans I think we can all have a pretty good guess as to what happens, just the how of it Agreed. The Caravans' demise is a foregone conclusion; all we await is how it happens... Far better for a caravan to end it's life in glory on Top gear than the way they usually do - spread across all three lanes of the motorway...

Allegheny1600 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I vote that the caravans are plowed into by that 'Russian' class 20 from "Goldeneye", then just to make sure, a Challenger tank drives over them. And if there's still any sign of caravan left, they will probably set fire to it all! :laugh: John E. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerces Fobe2 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I hope no Mexicans were offended during the filming at the GC. I am sure Jeremy will confirm that Mexicans make the finest caravans in the world. Xerces Fobe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixteen 12by 10s Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Is that an A4, on the front? an Audi one? I wonder who drove the things under the GCR's strict traction rules, and did they have permission to exceed 25MPH? Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who drove the things under the GCR's strict traction rules, and did they have permission to exceed 25MPH? Gary Unless the Audi was steam powered, which I assume it was not, then it would be able to reach speeds of up to 75mph if specially authorised by the General Manager, all public access to the site is removed, and the whole line is under a T3 possession.

EddieB Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 If a trailer shown last night is to be believed, caravans on the Great Central will be shown this coming Sunday. As ever, you can count on the Top Gear presenters to be mature and responsible in the vicinity of railway tracks... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMJ Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I bet that they are not through fitted with air or vac brakes. Just the usual caravan brake that acts when the van is pushing against the towing vehicle. We only have to wait until 20:00 tonight! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
