That is stunning, the fact they managed to propel a Reliant Robin a few thousand feet over Otterburn (I recognise it ) with solid booster rockets, how could Clarkson take the mic out of that?
Murphy's 9th Law of Technology:
Tell a man there are 300 million stars in the universe and he'll believe you. Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he'll have to touch to be sure.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.
I've heard that BBC doesn't spend much money on these shows, but something doesn't add up. Surely that the Reliant Robin project must've cost more than 10,000 pounds. The price they would have to pay for anything from the metal detectors, and model airplanes, to the actual manufacturing of the real rocket with 8000lbs of thrust, etc. must've been pretty high.
But turning the robin into a rocket isn't ONE expense...technically.
I guess that's how they can afford to do these strange and expensive projects. None of their expenses is over £10,000 (EACH). Its all about bending the rules...just like bending wings on an F1 car, or using wheel covers to improve the aerodynamics...(of the brake cooling assembly in order to extract more hot air)
Silence is golden when you don't know a good answer.
