On the basis that virtue is often it's own reward. Imagine my surprise this morning when coming out the tunnels at Newport M4 on my way to do some shopping at Cribbs Causeway I spotted a new STI on the hard shoulder hazard lights flashing and three forlorn looking guys frantically calling on their mobiles. I pulled over to offer assistance and wound down the passenger side window guess who stuck his head into the car and said "Have you got a gallon of petrol in the boot?" none other than the man himself but Tiff... Well I was just ever so slightly gob-samcked!. Anyway I helped them by fetching required nourishment for the STI and also as fate would have it had the camera in the boot so got these pics as well bonus! This certainly made my day. Hope the uploader thingy works...

DeerHunter

wound be interested to know if its his car....

and was it an sti8? - suspect not with the 52 plate?

ImpIII

My STi8 was on a 52 plate so it could well be.

Katana

Damn, he's my hero too. Now if only if I can get this to happen with a member from atomic kittens..

DeerHunter.

Remember that until today, all STi8s were on a 52 plate, so there are plenty around (mine included) and the rear lights show it is an '8'.

I would think it's one of IM's press cars, and the exhaust would suggest it's been PPP'd.

Josh

Thats just fantastic. Hope you got his autogragh

StickyMicky

I was so surprised that I forgot the autograph Doh!!!but then this afternoon the Liverpool team arrived at the gym/hotel I use. They are playing in the Worthington Cup final tomorrow in Cardiff. So I'm off to buy a lottery ticket now.........

Crush

Classy!

stellaFella

Would you let him drive your car???? not unless he gave you tyre money

Phil

Thats an Sti8 you can see the different rear lights

I have seen quite a few "52's" incl Old_Farts and JoshL

Some STi8s became available to those who were either lucky enough, or got on well with their dealers. The plate makes no difference on a car like that so I decided to pick mine up at the end of January, a couple of days after Rum.

It also carried the advantage of getting the PPP done before the rush of '03s

NewWrX,
You couldn't get a couple of lottery tickets for me could you. You definately appear to be on a roll!

Josh

MrShades

BG52 ZFX is exactly the same car as EVO tested in the March issue....

So - it's an IM press car and not Tiff's P&J - though it is PPP'd.

I emailed the link to the Top Gear email address

I got this back just now

"Thanks for your message. If it catches Jeremy's eye we're sure he'll mention it on the programme, and we'll be posting some of the best ones on the Top Gear website.

We'll be in touch if we can.

The Top Gear team."

I think we know this WILL catch his eye

Pro Boy

Got to be an IM Demo with them plates

It would be funny to see Clarkson having a pop at Tiff for running out of Petrol and a mention for scoobynet would be cool!

Is Tiff a Scoobynetter? yeh right, I highly doubt that, Ive met him a few times and hes a very busy guy(phone ringing lots)........
