I also think I can remember one in an old "only fools & horses". I think it's the episode where they pretend to be experts in chandaliers. I haven't seen it for many a year, but if my memory is correct it starts off with our hapless heros stopping to help the lady of a huge mansion, who has broken down (unlikely) in what I think was a blue mk1. They end up towing her (even less likely) in their famous Reliant van, back to the mansion, where they talk themselves into the job cleaning the chandaliers, resulting in the usual predictable but nonetheless hillarious mayhem. :roll: :lol:

Thers one in a 1989 or 1990 epsiode of top gear, owned by some woman who's an amateur rally driver in her spare time.
