This is the link to their website http://www.five.tv/fifthgear/ They may put something on here after the show. If not i'm sure someone will record it and post clips Wazza
Wazza you truly are a GIF addict my friend, our board is slowly being invaded by the little creatures.. I look forward to the programme on Monday....what fcars are they testing...or is it the best voted Ferrari choice??? I bet it will be the testarossa!!!!!! Image Unavailable, Please Login
Wazza. You are a man of many animated gifs! Like someone said before one for every occasion. More blinkers than Blackpool! Joe - the prog is gonna be based on the results of the voting they did on their website. I think the TR was the winner but not sure. They will also have the runners up too. Set the video timer now guys!
Hi I was fortunate enough to go along for one of the day's filming (my mate had his Ferrari filmed during the day time) and the final shoot at the (mock up) studio at Tower garage. I won't give the game away on which car won, but the list of ten cars include, 328 F40 Californian Spyder Testarossa P4 Dino 250GTO Sorry cannot remember the others... Was great to meet VBH, Tiff and Tom. Cheers, Mario.
Mario, Many thanks for your input....It must of been a good day VBH and all mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm she can drive my car anyday she likes.. You are a new user then so i also welcome you to FCHAT is a great community.... Image Unavailable, Please Login
Mario Thanks for that. Great line up of cars. Which was your friends car? Also I see you have a mondial QV. Im mosdt intersested in that model too, so whats it like to live with?
Hi Adnaan, I've been around this board in one form or another for 2-3 years but don't do many posts. I've had my Mondial over 10 years PM me if you want to know more, on the whole its not been a bad experience, drove it today 4 up and we all still fit in it (Wife + 2 kids 12 & 10). As for the 5th gear programme, I cannot say what car we were in as it's the WINNER, you will see on Monday night. Cheers, Mario. PS?: How do I put a picture in my profile???
Mario, click on "user cp", then go to avatar ; there are options to upload both avatar and profile pics from your hard drive, tho' both are limited in size.avatar 80 x 80 , profile no bigger than 640 x 480. Welcome to F-chat, by the way. Regards Tony
OMG!!! I'd kill for that broadcast! If any of you is recording it, I'll be happy to pay costs and delivery of the CD, DVD or similar.
Just to let everyone know how the UK voted: 10 246 GT Dino 9 330 P4 8 250GT California Spyder 7 250 GTO 6 360 Modena 5 365 GT4 Daytona 4 F40 3 250 LM 2 328/308 GTS/GTB Series 1 Testarossa Great Programme, Disappointing result - No 288 GTO, No F50 & the 328 ought to have come first ! Personal opinion, Biased I know. Steve
I agree with you guys ! The average punter, is likley to only know one ferrari name and the cachiest of them all is the testarossa ... no surprise on the result then. Also, Magnum drove a 308 and not a 328 but who would differentiate ? Tony, I too am quite dessapointend with the 355 not even getting a look in. Steve, I think that for the context of this programme the 288 gets lumped in with the 328 !!! (I don't mean any offense here, just my perception of the respondednts anwers)
I wander if Ladbrokes gave bets on that...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 2500-1 id of put £1 on it and be £25k betta off Image Unavailable, Please Login
Very supprising result. My money would have been on the 355. Hur! Didn't even get a mention. I noticed Tiff's favorite was the 360(which should please all the Modena owners). I have always had a great respect for that guys opinion. I think he's one of the few car guys on TV that actually knows what he's talking about. And christ, he really knows how to drive. Did you notice how much he was pushing that 360, and looking very comfortable with it. He looked like he was positively enjoying every minute of his hot laps around Goodwood. I was specially impressed with the way he drifted the back end out round Woodcote Corner and hot footed it through the Chicane. I've been trying that for years but it never looks anythink like that.! Oh well, back to the brawing board. VBH-What a babe. Wazza
Hi all,upon watching 5th gear tonight i was very supprised there was no 355 in the top ten, Sorry gent's but there's only one bad ferrari in my book THE ONE WITH A BAD MAINTENANCE RECORD thanks again to all who posted pics very nice, Dale.
ok, I may be 'slightly' biased, but thought the program was great, and was delighted to see what could have been my exact car being whizzed around by a fit young lady. 2nd place not too shabby either! I think Thomas Magnum gave a slightly unfair advantage, but still good to see! )
I had to tape it, but I've just watched it. Can't believe no 355 I was sure it would be, then popped up the tr. Very much agree about tiff, he is the man Phil
Mark, I have it on tape. PM me or email me at [email protected] if you would like me to send it to you. Regards Phil P.S I know of a site which still has a vid of the 5th Gear Challenge Stradale feature. Most of you probably saw it, but if anyone's interested i'll email it.
