If they're doing a feature on used Monaros, 007s might be a little extreme.

ibdid. Failed on phone and works pc ?

I presumed even mine would be too non-standard to be of interest to them. 007's would be hilarious though

They must be doing a section on old car running costs ??

When they do the old mans car they will give you a tinkle

I wouldn't mind doing it to be honest. Mine is more or less standard and pretty much good as new apart from a couple of scratches and kerbed alloys, and a few other odds and ends. It's got a very decent number of miles under it, and it's never let me down. Maybe I'll drop them a line, might be fun.

If there's one thing that old people don't need, it's help tinkling.

Did anyone get a reply to this?

I actually dropped an email to the General Manager at northonetv.com (the correct address, not Northone.tv - you'd have thought they would have got the web address right) to point out that their 'representative' was using the wrong email address - and, to be honest, to see if it was pukka. It all seemed to be a bit dubious to me ... but maybe that's my suspicious nature.

I didn't get a reply though - very strange.

I'd also have thought they might have used their FB site to 'advertise'. If this was a con, I can't actually figure out what the scam was though.

Here's the website of the parent production company BTW.

I'd imagine its to use as a "cheaper" alternative to a car they will be testing

After seeing what topgear did to Linden Special Vehicles car back in the day I would never in a million years permit any journo anywhere near my car

I got an email from Fifth gear . Reply but never heard anymore.
