A couple of your PistonHead comrades have been busy working with GM&M on the programmes - although we did not have a screening date. They also paid a visit to the factory for some filming. Should be worth a watch.

I hope you guys (and gals) appreciate our efforts in visiting Blackpool mid December and dutifully freezing our nads off for you!

Oh, and as far as I am aware - the prog on the 3rd goes at 7.00pm rather than 7.30pm.

Just bumping this thread back to the top to give everyone a reminder.

Men & Motors - Monday 3rd March 7.00pm Dream Deals. Repeated Wednesday night. I think they are starting with the 3000S and the Tamora. May also be Pistonheaders on there too.

As I don't have access to Men and Motors, is there any way that this can be recorded digitally and then posted on-line somewhere - or is it just a case of asking one of you nice folks to video it and then I can send an SAE and some cash for the video?

Here's hoping...

Thanks very much - Just a quick question - Are you a Brian Lumley Fan?

Edited for spelling

An avid reader myself - I have read all of them numerous times (if in a somewhat back to front order (Vampire world first!)) Am lacking behind in the E-branch series though due to my local library being very slow to order them. But the adventures of Harry, Nathan et al were the backbone of my latter teen years, fantastic reading all round.

Fairly positive overview I thought. Nice to see some PH cars on screen too.

I really, really need to get a T350....

comments anyone?

Had to laugh at the thought of the outcry on here when he said:

Chimaera .... more beautiful and rounded than the Griffith

I've bl**dy missed it. I'm holed up in a hotel in E'burgh with no access to M&M. Got to wait until tomorrow to see it! Did my bum look big in it?

You have a good point about not getting a Cerbie in there too - that's down to the folk who did the filming, who I believe have in the main been made redundant since the filming was done. Drop them a line and get it featured in another future programme?

Many thanks to Russell Larcombe 'LARCO' who got eveyone together via the Blackpool TVRCC and Pistonheads for the making of the prog on TVRs - top man!

Yeah no Cerbie and no S Series, straight from the Tasmin to the Griffand from the Chimera to the Tuscan!

pity that cos the rest of the proggy was ok, pretty good overview.

We didn't have a great deal of editorial influence or else Cerbera, s series and later wedges would have been in. The half hour programme took two days of filming standing on the prom in december freezing our nads off.
Will email the M@M team suggesting a Cerbera special in the future.
I wouldn't have thought a year ago that TVR ownership would have brought an appearance on the telly.
