Guest Nicola Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 This has just been posted on the Toyota Owners site. 'Do you reckon your Toyota could beat a Ferrari round the Top Gear circuit live on channel Five. Would you like to have a go? Believe me this is for real. You need to be available early on Saturday 24th July. Please email me your contact details (and ideally a picture of your car) to [email protected] Supras preferred but I'm open to suggestions'. I don't know if this is genuine and I know almost everyone will be at JAE that day. Who is going to be brave and ask them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 A Ferrari!? Ferrari what? 360, 355, ENZO (gulp!) etc... Fcuk it, I might be up for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 It just depends on what ferrari they're talking about? 360? Enzo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Why would Channel 5 be using the BBC's location when they have their own at Bentwaters? "A Ferrari" - yeah I could beat lots of them, others I might not be able to, define "Ferrari" If it's "live" on the 24th why doesn't the Ch5 schedule show it? I can see "No Man's Land 35 - All Blonde Edition" in the schedule for the 23rd (not on 5) and that features "Nina Ferrari" - maybe it's that? Elaborate scam to extract details of owners cars so they can make a "Gone in 60 Seconds" style shopping list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicola Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I have just seen the listing on the channel 5 schedule. Its on at 11am on Saturday morning. The programme is called No Girls Allowed. I have just asked the organisers for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Ah, I hadn't considered it might be a children's programme! "Live programme aimed at young boys, full of facts and figures about the latest cars, games and tricks, presented by Joe Challands and Nigel Clarke. In this programme, a racing quad bike is pitted against the brand new Ford off-road concept vehicle, and the world's first rotten fruit slam dunk competition takes place in X Sports. Plus How Hard Are Your Jeans." I suspect a lot people will be at the JAE though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Originally posted by MfS It just depends on what ferrari they're talking about? 360? Enzo? Maybe its a Matchbox Ferrari I'll guess at a 360C - the racey one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicola Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I have a reply... Well we have 3 ferarris on the show, a 355, a 348 and 360. The winner will get to take part in a feature called Beauty and the Beast, the Ferarri will be the Beauty and I am looking for the beast (no offence intended). We want the Ferarri to lose!

Getrag Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Haha, despite it being a kids programme I watched a bit while flicking through the early morning weekend programmes. They had superbikes doing stoppies and wheelies. In next weeks programme they said they were racing Japan vs British with a NSX vs Exige. So they obviously like their competitions, could be good.

attilauk Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 maybe Paul Whiffin would be up for this, his car is an awesome beast:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NGA Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Hi it's me, I posted on the Toyota website. If you know anyone who has a car that is up to it we literally want you to come down and burn it round our track in a time challenge against the leading ferrari. We'd also do a feature on the car and an interview with the driver. Who is Paul Whiffin and the fabled car that you speak of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I would say that Paul Whiffins is good for a road/track race. see http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/whifsupra1.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
