The final part of Top Gear presenter James May's 20th Century TV series is to show a 1982 Mini dropped onto a sheet of skyscraper glass tonight at 8.00-9.00pm on BBC2 according to my TV guide, in case anyone is interested. Might be worth setting the video/dvd recorder for?

On the advert it looks as though he drops it about a foot. I may be wrong or overly optimistic but it doesn't look like much of a drop

and stuff were falling off lol, why can't they use atleast a rust or knackered mini, why is it on all programs they use a fairly good rust free looking mini and 
it up, we want to keep them on the road, not kill 'em!!!
maybe this is the minis payback, we use them to catapult in scrapheap challenge, make them fly down a ski slope in top gear, and now drop them from 5ft......and in return, they force rust on themselves, and constantly say "ah this, i want to break down"
