MY first car- a 50s Rover was in the background of a shot of "The darling buds of may". Sadly Catherine Zeta Jones never went near it....

I was invited to take my Ginetta G33 on a Top Gear feature about the Buick/Rover V8 engine. We were on call most of the day and were never even offered a cup of coffee.

I was parked on an industrial estate near the williams factory in 2001, when a new MINI a proper mini and Jeremy Clarkson turned up and started arsing about driving under a JCB bucket and doing handbrake turns whilst filming. It was pre modern Top Gear and I've never found what it was for but I must be in the background sitting in a blue Turbo R eating a Ginsters pasty and talking on the phone. Should be easy to spot as I had a mohican at the time!
Clarkson's top 100 cars they did the mini chasing. Still got the video biggrin I know someone who had a classic bus used in a tv series if that counts?

All this shows to me is that Clarkson is ageing like a we on crystal meth. Not looking good!

hehe

I just vaguely remembered the show and had a recollection of my Brother who is a long term S1 owner going to a meet and the owner wink being there just after the incident.

I remember watching the show, I was up there in my S2000 ripping it up not long after wink

He said the owner was a bit worse for wear after, is that true?

I walked away but I was in pain for about 6 weeks after because I broke a few ribs. Is your brother Nick Jones ? I think he is a mate of a lad I knew a while ago ?
