Top Gear Honour

Steve,
The Display Register is basically a list of owners and cars kept by us specifically for sourcing vehicles for films, magazines and photoshoots.
We have advertised continuously in PP and there is a write up every month (usually) about what has been happening, and often an owners report.

The Top Gear programme was obviously an important assignment, and very time consuming. The point we were trying to make is that if owners want to take part in these sorts of activities and the request comes via main office, if we haven't got the information on our Register you will not be asked. The information we have is not on any other data base as it is all obtained via personal contact.

If 964 members wish to be involved give us a ring on 01253 592755 orEmail display@porscheclubgb.com and we will get back to you.
 
Well how dissapointing was that. I think I blinked and missed it, or wasn't it even on screen.
 
[FONT=verdana,geneva"]Tell me about it! I caught a glimpse of it in the side profile 'flick-through' but a bit better in the line up - the front briefly in one shot then the rear in the transition to 993.

Oh well, got to go to the show.. maybe I'll put my name down for another one. John Bishop actually had so much more to say and was funny throughout, shame there wasn't time for it all.

So, confirm it, or otherwise, do they deliberately select the best looking ladies to stand behind the presenters during the new segment? [;)]
 
[FONT=verdana,geneva"]What can I say Colin... one guess only!

Right from the start JC makes it clear how it all works - if he thinks you're king ugly or too fat (his own words) then get out of camera shot. We were all warned beforehand the 'style' of language that would be used.

It's not as big as it seems on camera.. about a third of a hanger (google satellite maps will show). Plenty of fag breaks - as they say - they do take the time to talk to many and also take the mick quite a lot. General good blokes I would say just having a laugh. They do a dry rehearsal I believe in the morning before the audience turn up. While there for 6 hours you can hear the celebrity guest screeching around the circuit.

Glad I managed to go (one ticked off the list). Great fun but don't feel the immediate need to do it again. If you go to applause.com you can also put you name down for the show (and many others too). I heard there was anything up to a 4 season waiting list - might be untrue, who knows. They like a 50/50 split of girls/boys if possible. Bet if you put your name down as some known footballer (Gerrard?) you'd get shoved up the list![FONT=verdana,geneva"]

[FONT=verdana,geneva"]Did I see your name on the Donni list?[FONT=verdana,geneva"]

Hardly a looker himself, JC, now is he?

Don't think Donnington is going to be on I'm afraid. Funds are tight & Le Mans is the priority for me...[8D]

If Steve runs Courborough again, I'll certainly be up for that one...[;)]
 
[FONT=verdana,geneva"]Steve and Courborough is a no brainer - even when wet!

Le Mans? A bit off topic, but are you definitely going? With the 'unofficial' organised event? I had been going every year with a few mates camping at Beausajour and hung at with the Club at Porsche Curves. Mates letting me down this year too many having babies round then - bad panning on their part - or sneaky planning on their partner's [:D][FONT=verdana,geneva"]
 
We're going with Steve Fowell, it was so good last year...

You'd be welcome to join our happy band. Its my turn to drive this year so Ill be bringing the 964 [8D]

Do you like good food & drinking? If so you'll fit in well...[&:]
