My Mates car is going to be on the Christmas Top Gear Vid
Spoke to him today just after the Film crew loaded up the car

Filming is over 3 days ( This Weekend ) so its quite a nice size feature

Set in north Wales, the scene is a "mad max style post apocalyptic England" and Fuel is all but gone
Each are asked what car that they want to put there last bit of Fuel in.

Hamond picks my mates car

Step forward "The Goat"






560 cu in, Holley Pro Injection,Adelbrock Inlet & Heads 6 sp,Coil overs,8 Pots,9" Houser rear

Last session on the Rollers, she spun up over 500 horses without gas and there's 250 should you want to hit the button !!

There is a tipical "top Gear" Beach session were the Hampster will give it some beans and asked if thats ok ??

Yere sure said my mate, you brake it (Hamond ) you fix it and none of that,"oops ,sorry, i didnt see that edge of the cliff there either"

Anyway, should be fun as i have been out in the Goat a few times and its Bonkers.

Big Block V8 Soundtrack is LOUD

May wanted an old Roller, but he was told they are rubbish and wouldn't go with what they had in mind so gave him a F40 which is so Unlike may and will make for better filming

Sounds like it should be a good watch, whats Clarkson in?

 

Clarkson aint in this shoot, its just the Hamster and Captain Slow

 

Cool, thats hell of a nice car.

 

Ive just blurbed a white splodge in my pants

 

The Engine

Cool, should still be good.

 

560cu inch??? Thats like more than 9.2 litres!
Who makes that block? Or is it a Pontiac one stroked/bored?

 

Mate was down last week with one of his Minis for James May to muck around in. Said it was good fun.

 

 

What an engine!

 

Wow,the goat is what every car should look like!!!

 

Yep, count em

When it was mapped, it tried to clime outa the rollers when the nitrous was brought in and the screen displayed "error". Twas amusing

It has Everything and was a "big buck" build with a lot of parts being one off engineered etc.Lots of trick things too like the accumalator which brings the oil to preasure before you start it etc

 

Thats a good idea Is that one of the stainless cylinder tanks to the side of the bay? I've not seen one before.

 

Yes mate, its the bigger of the two tanks on the left.
Turn the key and wait for the red light to turn green, then fire her up
