Oil leak at the Clarkson DVD shoot!!!!!!!!!!!

[dickymint]

Turned out not to be a problem!! Got it home and all is well. Big thank you to Neil Hyde for the oil top up.
Cheers to Rev, Jason, Richard, Andy, Derek and all.
Great day out. Never had the 350 so sideways before!!!
(thanks to my mate Rod who drove ) And believe me the smoke was rubber not oil.

Phew - for a minute there I thought there was going to be a real tale of woe.. so are there any photies to go with todays shoot or is there an official secrets act in place..

[NHyde]

...and yes the Official Secrets Act it is in place !! Sure I'm not breaking any rules when I say that once the action started , it was a fun day !!

[rev-erend]

Top day out - can't believe we did not have to pay for having so much sideways fun.

Jason - Yeh didnt see the driver but caught the Peninsular sticker on the back and he waved as he overtook us at the bridge toll! couldnt catch him to wave back!!! Doubt though if he caught Rod in my 350 as he was still giveing it large and grinning.(my last instruction to him was "take it easy all the way"! Bloody kids!

Poor old Mr Sheen - all those flys .. will take hours to polish off .. bonnet / mirrors / engine bay etc..

He did fine .. nice lines, sounded real nice - what I could hear of it about the noise of Neil Hydes SEAC

What do you mean you couldnt catch him ... you were in the SEAC, he was in a 2 litre rover 800 With My dog in the back!!

Glad everything is ok though .. I was a little concerned when he was giving it large behind me and the 400SE, and I was late braking for some of the corners. Everyone looked as though they enjoyed it... The video footage I took was ok.. I wish I had put the rollbar camera mount on the wedge when we were caning it... would have been interesting. I am looking forward to seeing the photo's

The photos I took before I had to disappear are excellent. Steve told me all about your exploits so I'm looking forward to seeing some video footage too. What an amazing day!. I even spotted the cool board and the indestructible Toyota truck.
Great to see you all,
Karen

[stainless_steve]

Sounds like you all had a great time,any idea when you will be on the TV

[Mrs_T]

I think this is one of Clarkson's straight to DVD epics released sometime in November. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.Karen

[Mrs Cuchillo]

Is this the "Hot Metal" DVD that is released on Nov 8th? There is nothing in the synopsis mentioning TVR at all!
