Clarkson DVD filming date set!

Finally got a phone call from the Clarkson DVD production company today. The date has been set for May 30th (Bank Holiday Monday) and the filming will be at RAF Benson, Oxon. Off jnctn 6 of the M40.

The cars being used are:

Drew's MK1


John's MK2


MY MK3


James's MK4


Isnt it strange they are all red! Hope the MK5 GTI is red too and completes the set.

Will post a full report and pics after the day. Cant wait!!! 8)

 

Is Drew an alien?

Thats not Drew, thats "The Stig" from when his car was used on Top Gear

 

do you think they will mind if i come along to watch? i'll have no problem getting on the camp...

 

thats quite near me as well

 

Ooh - me too, would love to watch it

 

should be interesting. fame at last hey rob

 

I have emailed about spectators and will let you know the outcome.

 

Can I ask what DVD this is?

 

Its just the usual Christmas DVD thing that Clarkson put out. I am assuming its about his favourite cars?!? There wont be just GTIs there on the day of filming - so I will take plenty of pics and give you guys a sneek preview of what your missus will buy you for Xmas 2005

 

cool! who test drives your cars then?

or is he dropping a caravan onto them?

 

I'm doing my 'cameo' role for just this thread, hoping that that is an acceptable exception to my previous missive. 'Greetings and Felicitations' to those who remember me.

My car was on the wrong wheels in the above shot, but will be back on its original p-slots for this event. The car isn't 100% after its altercation last year, but is roadworthy enough. [:^(]

If you get permission from Rob, look forward to seeing some of you on the day.

Take it easy out there.

Cheers,

Drew.

best colour

if anyone's is faded though its gonna be very obvious.

do the top gear guys know these are all red?....they can't use a different colour mkV, it'd be wrong.

 

Its NOT Top Gear. Nothing to do with them. Its an "On The Box" company that does all Jeremy Clarkson dvds

 

How much are they paying you?

 

Edit - Should be a good day, just hope he doesn't start doing J-turns and handbrake turns in them

All petrol expenses and Track insurance is being paid for by the production company. The rest is purely out of kindness
