512 TR Top Gear?

There was a Top gear (Fifth gear) review of the Testarossa which won 1st place in their pole of the nation's favorite Ferrari. Although it's not a 512TR, it should make any TR owner happy.

The Testarossa review is at the end but watch the complete video:

Well it made me VERY happy because that is my car

You must have a permanent grin. ;-) We're all lucky that you're talking to us and not
limiting us to a Facebook fan page.

A had an old '68 F250 Ford truck that had 30 seconds of fame in the movie "Harry and the Hendersons." My brother-in-law borrowed my truck and he had a few short parts in the movie. But that's nothing compared to your TR being featured on Fifth gear and winning first place! Nothing could be more cool than that!

 

I have a DVD of all the out takes and extra filming that didn't make the final program.
Apparently the final part of the program where my Testarossa is announced as winner was taken at about 2:30 in the morning. No wonder the crew were looking so knackered

very cool, thanks for sharing

 

Phil,
I am awestruck.

Can we see the outtakes? PM me with them!

 

Vince I don't know how to do that easily as its a DVD full of video, I guess sized in the high megs.

Thank you for posting. Its always nice to see the motoring press honor what moves the public. The Testarossa is the package that wins. Ive never had one but the car is lovely and pleasing from any angle and the sound is music!

 

Can you burn me a copy Phil?
Regards Roy

 

Make me one too please Phil ?

 

I'd love too see a copy of that Phil. I have a VHS of mine when it was featured in a Men "n" Motors top 100 poll, Unfortunately,,,,, mine came in at 97.. ... But like you I'm not sure how to post it

 

Seeing that it was on "Men and Motors", it likely you car came 97th because all the competition were at least 44DD with no cladding :-O

I'm down to a single "used re-writable" DVD as I very rarely burn to disc.

I will try and remember the next time I am shopping (don't forget my shopping is usually conducted in the pub ) I will get a box load of DVD's and do a burning session.

Give me a reminder in the next couple of weeks if you have not heard back from me.

Sent you a PM Phil ...

 

Excellent point. What moves the public IS just as valid as any journalists opinion on what particular car he or she think is tops. Kudos to Top Gear for making the results real and not just going with whatever they wanted to put front and center. After all, outright performance is only ONE aspect of any car. Other factors are looks, feel, sound etc..... How can you tell that I'm a TR fan! Cheers.
