I have been asked by an agent of some kind whether I would be prepared to have my car used in a program (not sure what as she wouldn't elaborate).

It would have to be repainted and would be needed for approximately 2 weeks in October/November and a further few days in December for re-cuts.

It would be driven by one actor, who is not a specifically trained driver, on public roads that are normally open and for one scene by a stunt driver on closed roads.

They are asking 5 or 6 unusual car owners if they are interested. Thoughts ?

Aaaah.

A mate has just said that there's probably not a real job and she just wants the car on her books.

I'm normally the one who thinks that way. Amazing what a bit of ego polishing can blind me to.

. . . You'd think a movie shooting in a few months would already have the cars organised though...

Prior to becoming a bit deflated about the prospects of it being real, I had assumed it was more likely to be TV rather than a movie.




. . . or possibly a series of adverts for a pizza delivery company featuring an aging pizza delivery super-hero.

Hi Octane yes well lets not go there...

though I must admit I did find the bit in one of them with the two hindu boyracers in their Daihatsu Charade rather amusing...

You really mean you were mortified and offended . . .

Well there you have it. I can't think of too many things belonging to a guy that he likes being referred to as "CUTE".

The producer in looking at the photos apparently said "What a cute car !!!"

The agent has said that they really need a bigger car, and one with a windscreen for some reason. She believes they will end up using a 355 but still can't tell me what it's for.
