Dream Machine - Ch.5 - Wednesday 12th March

[nevpugh308]

There's a new program called Dream Machine on Wednesday at 8pm, Channel 5. Mark what's-his-face who does all the Born/Reborn series and a team of people will restore one car per week, and give it away to a viewer.

This week rumour has it that a Ferrari 308's being given away (exact model unspecified)

Channel 5's Dream Machine programme featuring the Club's 2002 Silverstone Track Day has been rescheduled and will now be shown on 12 March at 8pm.

Also had a preview of 5th Gear on the same trailer and one of the programmes is smashing a Volvo head on into another car at 60mph.

It's what should happen to all Volvo's in my opinion but I think they are actually demonstrating what happens when 2 objects with a 120mph close speed meet.

As if we couldn't already guess!!!

Beemer IIRC...

Think the idea is to try and shock the numpty related population... speed kills...! (apparently )

Surely then they should be using a Skoda and a Daewoo Matiz then to make it more realistic...!!!!

Edited to take out the word "Fiesta" and replace with "Skoda" after glancing at your profile.

Dream Machine - cool program :-) Lots about Ferrari (less so about the 308, and the odd inaccurate historical fact, but what the hey, eh ?)

[nevpugh308]

Liked the programme about the Ferraris - pity the picture's still crap. It made me realise that my car, which is a silver Dino 308 GT4 looks better, IMHO, than in red.

I always thought that all Ferraris should be red.

I missed 5th gear cos I had to get the car out and wash it after seeing them on telly.

Did they really spend that much restoring the prize car?

[andyrixon]

I rang up for the car. Would be quite interesting car history for me personally if i won...

Rover Metro 1.1 -to- Peugeot 306 1.6 -to- Ferrari 308!!!

Oh no!! I rang in for it as well. That means it's between you and me.

My history would be:

Metro 1.4 Gti - Porsche 944 Turbo - Ferrari 308

[diver944]

Tssk - they haven't rang me yet to let me know when to collect it.

They'd better get a move on.....
