Default Land Rover Discovery Self Ejecting a Spring

If you've watched any of my past films you might have seen the camera angle I try to get now and again where I put a camera on a mini tripod and then the guys all drive over it.

Well look what special little occurrence this one captured on my weekend trip to the Pheasant Steps
in Wales.
Apologies for the poor video, I just chucked this one together because I thought it was funny!

Retainers are a dumb idea. Cones are the way to go.

Outch.

There is a joke around here saying the owners should drive with a magnet to keep all of the parts which are falling, but to see it live... funny.
