Top Gear
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

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
