BB, where did you get this from? I have to admit, i did have a look for the answer, but it isn't anywhere on the net that i can see.

Were you actually born in 1978...??!!

I was born 10 years earlier than that, but I asked my old man yesterday

He remembered the series, but not the car

He can't drive. The TV programme showed him driving but he was just sitting in it whilst on a trailer giving the impression he was driving.

i was born in 1968.
my old man worked for ford and me and the big brother were fanatical about programmes that featured them (sad i know)
like the professionals et al.
anyway, this series (might only have been a 12 parter or something) featured a particulary nice example of what i believed to be the best ford car of the time (the 2.8i S) it was in BRG and the sport derivatives at the time had black back panels.
(dunno if you remember the cortina 2.0s and 2.3s, well they were the same.)
Its not something i found on the web, its something i just remember watching at the time.

I have given the keyring to a fellow scoobynetter who i met at an optimax pump (mark1) and if i can lay my mitts on this scooby 20p, its yours UKTony!!!

best start looking now (you know when you think "aha, that will be a safe place....")

good weekend dudes

In real life Tom Bell can't drive! Well he couldn't at the time of filming the programme. Like I say, his driving whatever car was faked!

Thanks for the snippet of trivia though..
