Whipped Cream Difficulties

I’m going long again, I know. I’m sorry. But this is something I’ve actually looked for in the past, and only now just found on the ‘Tube.

One of the non-“Top Gear”/”Grand Tour” series that James May has done is “James May’s Toy Stories“, in which he did interesting things with children’s toys.

For example: launching “Action Man” (the licensed UK knockoff of “G.I. Joe”, which someone describes as “the most derided toy in Britain”) on a rocket to see if he can exceed the speed of sound.

Example #2: build a three mile long slot car track.

Just one more: a Lego house. A Lego full-sized house.

Sadly, the house no longer exists:

An attempt to sell it to the Legoland theme park in Windsor fell apart, after the cost of dismantling and reassembling was judged too expensive. The house could not remain at its site at a vineyard because the space was needed for vines and there was no planning permission. With further attempts unable to prevent it being dismantled on 22 September 2009; the bricks used in it were however donated to charity.
