...I've been on a mixture of 8 hour nights shifts, 12 hour night shift and 6pm-2am shifts for the past week. Giving up the day job might be tempting ;D :D
I'd forgotten about the gadget show being on the night before , I must remember to watch it ! :P
I am looking forward to this new bit of filming though...should help the C5 keep its "iconic" status 8)
Karl:
Today was a fantastic day ;D
Just as my Sat-Nav told me I was getting close to the location for this filming, three DeLorean cars went whizzing past :o Since this isn't something you often see, I assumed I was indeed close to the venue :)
Here are some piccies from the film shoot ;
Once they had finished filming with the DeLorean's, they moved onto the Sinclair C5's ;
Karl:
They opted to use "Dave" rather than "Moneypit" ;
...and they made good use of the boot on the C5 ,it held a lot of the gear for the mini-camera mounted ahead of the handlebars.
.......and lastly, a piccie of the man himself ;
He is an absolute legend - a really nice bloke who made you feel as though you had known him for ages 8)
Chris had that "C5 grin" and admitted he was enjoying himself on a C5 - even though it must have been quite a change from the DeLorean he was driving only half an hour previously :D
A really good day and looking forward to watching the episode - I am told it will be screened on Sunday 28th June.
We might have to invite ourselves to RetroAndys for a TV session after the Royal Run ;D

How cool a day did you have, I have always loved the DeLorean and would have one given half a chance (i do have a huge list for my dream collection) but the Delorean is up there with K.I.T.T and the A-Team van. The filming looks quite comprehensive, i might have to work in the evening after the run, but i will be recorded it, what time will it be on air ?
P.S the A-Team van is for sale, visit www.theateamvan.co.uk if anyone has a spare £30,000.00 it would make a great C5 carrier.
