BBC's Top Gear stokes a steamer
#11
This was shown here last year. I never watch top gear as I cannot stand the three presenters, especially 'motor mouth' Clarkson. They are too full of themselves.

However, I did watch this one and have to say the filming of Tornado was first class. If it had indeed been done in the 1940's, the steam loco would have won hands down. Then it would not have had to stop to take on water as there were strategically placed water troughs along the route for replenishing the tender tank.

Before the programme started, we just knew the car would win, of course........
