The producer said that he hadn't given them any yet because they were still making them so it could be anything. I did ask if he could have the challenge where they rolling road the cars and minus a point per horsepower lost from factory power. Would love to see how much it was running.
Not sure what they would have done if it was running 400bhp!!!!

Prices can't get any lower or they'd be given away, plus, there's no such thing as bad publicity wink

I emailed Top Gear two years ago suggesting that they arrange a lap of the track/time trials with UK car club representatives (including of course FCCUK smile )

So the competition may turn out to be Hamster in a Lambo owners car versus May in an Aston owners car versus JC in a Coupé shocked

All unmodded of course..or time deduction for power ups.
Where would we come confused

I've just sent a message through the top gear website 'contact us' page, as a start.

Any other suggestions for getting in touch with JC, let me know!!

Well, if your already in touch with them as if they'll plug fccuk.org and the forum and if they'll put some stickers on the car if I send them in.

guys,

i had a call from BBC about this.

Tehey asked about the car, and what i thought if it etc as i did the belts.

The car is going to be Clarksons car for 1 of the upcoming shows. They wouldnt disclose too many details on what was planned, but from the hints he gave it sounds like a 'fast car for £1000' show.

should be interesting to see.

smile

well im not sure really. i only did the belts, so not sure of the cars overall condition as such.

They mentioned they may book in for a healthcheck so i can see if it will take a hammering, whilst their own team of guys will check that its safe electrically, and that the brakes work properly etc.
