Hi there

I work for the channel 5 programme Fifth Gear and we're looking for a standard 20vT for filming in the Birmingham area this coming Monday, 11th May. The car will only be required to be filmed statically and in an indoor environment.

If anybody out there is able to help us out and have their car featured on the telly please either email on nicholas.deacon@northonetv.com or call me on 07515 028 529. If I don't respond straight away please be patient as I'm filming tomorrow.

Many thanks,
Nick

They now have the car, so no further action required: solas is flying the flag for the car, club and forum

As requested - mails / phonecalls only please. Messages on here will most probably NOT be read.

I hope they use a nice yellow one

Get the CarlT special rolled out! Where is Cappo?!

just sent an email, seems good, im hopefully going to go for it!

see what a camera can do to the car!!

I'd say CALL. Always better this way.

Fit that boot mod first Marco.

Check it out properly first and make sure it isnt like something from 'the real hussle'

Noooooo

i cant get the time off work on Monday...Gutted...

ive done all the checks i could and this is the real deal people!!

its this monday!!!

come on guys and gals, get the 15mins you all want and make me even more jealous of not being able to have my car shown off the the country....

Nick the guy running this is sound as a pound!

i got a rapid risponce from this and he was happy to answer any of the questions on this!

good luck to any one who does this...this opp does not come around every day!

Kayjey...i will do the boot mood i promise...just been dragging my heals a little bit!!

this would be a really good experience, seeing how it all works behind the scenes. Shame they want a standard one anyone got a standard sprinty front bumper

think the best person to ask would be motormech if still has one.center of brum?Mine just not ready yet

I might be OK for this!.....I'll email.......

dammit - mines not *quite* standard

cjh?

OK which bugger beat me to it- Nicks just mailed me back saying they have one....oh well

hmmm this will be for the article where they run a 10 year old sports car and a 2009 sportscar into a 5 ton concrete block to see how they fare

Still nice to see something like Fifth Gear still taking interest in the Coupe - maybe I should wait until we hear what the spots about.....but still good news

Nello - Wish I was nearer - would have been a great opportunity to "Biff the Tiff"

Will be interesting to see what is done with it.

If Tiff goes near it, you lot won't be happy. He has picked the 20vT apart on more than one occasion.

"It handled like a hyperactive pogo stick on steroids" is just one of many...

Funny I was thinking something similar, ie...how are you going to feel if you go out of your way to accommodate their request and later sit down and watch them completely slate it

As its mentioned as a static indoor shoot I was hoping for a Design / bargain feature....

LE coupe turbo because they are standartd and its got nice body kit and interior

i second the LE idea as it is a standard 20vt in a fashion, but we all know they should have asked for a 16vt

Nick phoned me about this today and dew to work load we were unable to take one of our sales coupes up on Monday so i surgested he post on here because i was sure he would find someone able to help out.

I'll take one of your sales coupes up for you Gaz, I'm free on Monday

where is AlanW? do we have a Bat-Signal with which to call him?

or they might make it into a police car....

We would of sent the Plus up that we have

A Vinci LE on the tv would be heaven sent

I've E-mailed the guy and offered my services (well that of my bog standard 20VT Plus)
