The mkiv Supra Owners Club

So, I went to the filming of Top Gear on Wednesday.

Blazing hot day, had a pub lunch on the way. Got in easily. Met a chap with a Supra who hasn't paid his membership;) but didn't see any car impressive enough to desire.

 

Saw Clarkson in his GT40. Which was nice.

 

The filming was fun. They swear more than I do which is a real feat. Plenty of fluffed lines, Jesus was in the studio, they ripped into caravans and bus drivers, the new Vectra sports model understeers to ridiculous extremes, they did a speed run in an F1, indoors, Brian Cox can't drive for shite, it was stupid hot in there and if you believe the bloke from the ticket agency they are booked up for 29 years :rolleyes:.

 

Saw a Noble being thrown around the track but didn't see the Stig. Saw a bloke with a pass who was wearing an 'I am The Stig' t-shirt though. Double-bluff?

 

Long but fun afternoon. Drove around on the airfield on the way out which was fun.

 

Oh, and if you get tickets from Applausestore.com don't belive anything they tell you about privilege passes and being able to jump the queue. Once through the gate everyone is treated the same.

Funniest thing was being told there was £4,000,000 worth of cars in the studio. I was thinking Lambos, Ferarris, Astons and the like.

 

What we got was the indestructible Toyota, a Mondeo ST220, a Mazda 6, a Vectra and a Toyota F1 car.

 

I did this ->:rolleyes:
