My day at Top Gear
After waiting over a year for tickets and endless requests via the Appluase website, I finally got to go on Top Gear! Left home at 9am and got there at about 1.30pm. Hung around for a bit becuase the earlier show ran on and they had to move new cars in to do the show we were in.
Turns out that what we went to was actually the last series being re-shot with new links to cater for our US cousins - Having to change petrol to gas and boot to trunk etc. So most of the video footage we had all seen before. Sadly no star in the car.
Just to say for those that watch the show, they really did spend 24 hours in the Smart 4 4 and the Audi V8 really did do 800 miles on one tank (I filled my Scoob up twice on the 500 mile round trip to the studio )
Cars there were the Supercharged Atom, Brabus Smart, Viper Truck thingy, Noble M400, Audi V8 Diesel and rover SD1.
Got James and Richards autograph on the cover of EVO magazine (much to James' disgust ) and fair play to Richard he had a hangover and was generally looking peeved off all day but still had time for signing and pics. Got a great one of my better half with Richard H' which was the only reason she went!
Lovely Noble M400 - JC left in this. Might be a temp car until the GT40 turns up.
