On Tuesday I was testing my new digital television subscription, I was watching BBC Prime and I found this........... You won't believe me!

Sorry for the poor quality, I made the video with my camera, I was so excited to share it!

It's a wmv file, 25 Mb.

haha only fools annd horses..that show is on in half an hour on cable too.

I reckon the quality is good for a camera phone and very stable.

Enjoyed it too especially as I have no TV at home I am sure most viewers would not be aware of how heavy v300s are to tow - and a scarf for a tow rope Hmm

I've never had to tow a 300, but I had a similar experience to that once.

Replace the Robin with a Trabant, and the Mk1 with a Land Rover Series II:

the scarf was tied around the tow rope to warn people it was there.

usually, these days, tow ropes are either made of flourescent or bright coloured material or have a bright coloured marker about half way along there length.

I dont know what a beige scarf on a normal rope was supposed to achieve
