Default Who Remembers The Brookside DVD? What Fast Ford Was It?

It was a Red Ford Escort, I assume it would of been an RS turbo? The one where they put the car through the hedge? It's where Lindsay Corkhill is getting married.

No idea but i remember when Jimmy Corkill was in his Mk1 Astra GTE (in his smack head days) and he drove that Roller off the road with Ron Dixons son inside and he snuffed it

Edited to say Ron Dixons Son Not Jimmy Snuffed it.

I went there when I was 9 and I sneaked in, I mean, I was like someone from the SAS crawling in and even then I was spotted and removed at once. And then last year I walked in just like I would any other close.

Believe it not my Grandads HGV was used in Brookside and he had to drive it out the close acting as one of the characters.

They then had to go to some services and park it up an embankment so it looked like who was driving had collapsed at the wheel.

I cannot remember for the life of me who the character was and ive always wanted to try and find the filming of it.
