Warning from the Carpet Shop.

Do not apply up-trim, and remain below take-off speed.

I'm thinking that driving one handed whilst holding a video camera/cell phone and recording the escapade might have been just as dangerous, if not more so. ::)

It might say that he was a passenger Paul, but the camera position is directly behind the steering wheel.

Really, Foz, would it have cost that much to have the carpet delivered?   ::)
