Did either of you see this parked opposite the car park at Top Gear.

Dont know what was going on with it but looked a bit rough for a 52 plater!


Cracking day out wasnt it, did you hear the Bowler Wildcat start up

Is that a red/white `57 Chevy in the background??

if so, what were you doing taking pics of some dodgy looking stripped out `cerb??

unless of course the `57 was just as rough!!

[nervous]

forget the bloody chevy, that looks like a renault master van to me, wait it is... in limited edition two tone metallic puce too. thats a thousand points in top-trumps.

plus, you know, the aston martin db3 zagato that appears to be wedged between the cerb and the shitty yank bus. 1 of about 8 made. but obviously the renault is the real find.

lucky gits.

We all saw it, agreed we preferred silver alloys, but from 200 metres couldnt see that it was stripped out. Whose is it?

PS... Adi was all over the wildcat, twin tuscan engines I believe (odd combo for a desert 'reliability is important' vehicle) but it sounds like a beast from what I heard about it!! I take it you were not there today... Didnt hear it start up sadly

Ouch, should had had 2 ajp8 engines a nice V16 inside would have been awesome. No I was only there on Saturday.

I shouldnt have said that I thought the TVR engines wern't set up for massively hot desert temperature thrashes anyway, remember reading some such elsewhere on ph...

Bowler Wildcats don't use TVR SP6 engines at all let alone 2 of them. They use TVR/Rover 4, 4.6 and 5 litre V8's 3 litre V6 or 2.5litre Turbo Diesels.

Moral of the story being... never believe anything a chim owner tells you!

I heard they use tvr engines.. oh well, still bloody fantastic bit of kit though.

Sorry Rob, duff info my end as well.

Saw the cerb, not my cup of tea like silver and silver alloys even though I drive a chim at present.
