You know what; I also pre-ordered the dvd too.... what a scam...

Im a lover of the TOTB and have been to the last 5 years, and as there was no DVD for the 2008 event due to the guy that edits it fell serious ill if not worse (sorry to mention it, and no slander intended here) they said they were geting some proffesionals in to film this years event.... hmmm. Its now 11 weeks since the event, and according to the website it states:

TOTB 8 DVD News- apologies for the delay but the new dvd is now in stock and all pre-orders will be fulfilled within the 10 days.

Ten Of The Best

Is this a wind-up. I've had several emails saying its on its way.........

The TOTB website above, but please dont bother contacting them on the Contact web page as they DO NOT REPLY!

Like I said before, m prepared to wait if this is what you have to do to get the DVD, but they could at least be honest about the situation, have they "not finished editing it", "lack of funding" or "they have cocked up my order"..

One more week and trading standards it is for me too, im not bothered about he £15... I want the DVD!!!

UPDATE:

I have sent them the below email, I'll keep you posted of any response, ive had to edit the email to remove personal info.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Reference the discussion below and the date of your last email, I'm becoming very annoyed that you are failing to be honest.

Please reply within the next 48 hours or I'm reporting my issues to trading standards.

Where is the DVD that I have clearly paid for??

What does it take to be be honest... nothing!!!

have been talking with trevor (who is ten of the best) ! great guy !!! he says he is having probs with the dude that is doing the dvds !
i have recieved my dvd today ! and it is going back , the coverage is poor at best and the dvd running time is only 49mins , this looks like a dodgey copy (all be it the quality of the filming is ok) that you can buy from your local market or from the pub !

not happy ;o(

Just watched the dvd, it didnt last an hour and what a load of sh_te.

If your interested in cars zooming past the camera with guitar music playing looped in the background i would recommend standing on a motorway bridge with your ipod playing the best of the eagles track 7 on loop.

You go to a motor event like TOTB to watch he cars and the drivers giving it their whole... watch the dvd and all you hear is poor quality interviews, music playing over the sound of the cars performing, and shots of about half if not less of all the cars that acual competed.... This is a low budget dvd and its simply not worth watching....... I'd hate to see the organisers of TOTB loose out, but this is a really poor reflection of a well organised event.... Its a shame the dvd took 2 months to arrive and when it did arrive its an utter sham. I took better footage with my SONY Handycam!!!

i'm not personally involved anymore but this is disapointing to read, and i know Trevor Duckworth is furious at the delays in people getting their paid for dvds. hes on the case now to get the guy to send him the master disc and get this sorted where copies are missing.
previous totb dvds were made in house but as people may know Simon Hinshelwood died last year, hence trevor using a new company for this season, probably the first and only time by the sound of it.
give trevor chance to sort it and the dvds will be shipped out, and if anyone isnt happy with it he'll also sort it out for you. Its been something out of his control in terms of the dvd supply and box quality etc, and hes only just been made aware that orders havent been fulfilled by amseurope tv.

I remember TOTB aka Rocket Ronnie etc on the telly a few years ago, why wasn't it just made an annual event on the telly? Was it a special year or something?, decent quality showing, i enjoyed that and looked to watch it again but it never showed, shame. Nice to see the Scoobies Evos and Skylines at their best (and occasionally worst).

Hiya Bez... Im going to request a refund, The dummy totb 2009 dvd isnt worth using as a coaster. Its shabby in every way, read the above thread.
