I mentioned this at work today, and they said they had seen it on TV, did I miss something?? However they could not tell me what channel? Any ideas?

 

I've been looking forward to watching it!! Gutted about missing it. Maybe we could download it from someone ?

PS The beauty of a cable modem!!

 

hmm

I would be surprised if it's been on TV. I didn't know about it if it was.

There will be a brief clip of it on Top Gear when they run the Autocar Sideways Challenge article in a couple of weeks. But that's all I know of.

All the best

OK, I have spoke to the guys again this morning, and they tell me it was on Men and Motors!! Although they have no idea which program, maybe carnage or motorweek.

 

davyboy..

did they give any details so we can be sure it really was the world record, and not something similar?

did anyone else see this?

Cheers

Simon

 

to quote my mate " yeah man it was a subaru broke some record, it went for about 2hrs, and the old record was something like 10 minutes."

I then showed him some pics and he said "thats the one!"

Simon, you have worked out who "davyboy" is havn't you?

 

how very strange

I wonder where they got the footage from?

PS. Yes dave

I think there is a very strong chance that he is confusing it with something else.

I've just been on to men & motors and they have no knowledge of it at all. In addition there is no way that they could have got the footage that I know of.

If he is adamant that it was definitely the same thing, could you ask if there is any way he can norrow it down a bit?

things like..

roughly how long was the feature?
was it part of something else or an article on it's own?
what did the footage look like? + any details he can remember.
what day (or roughly if he doesn't know for sure) he saw it, and roughly what time of day?
etc

Cheers mate
