EMAIL top.gear@bbc.co.uk in your own words if you want to see my Focus challenge the top super cars in the world. If enough people email them in there own words they will have to take heed, i think it would be right up Jeremy and Richard's street, i want to give the stig it for the day to see what it can do as he is an ex touring car driver and it is his track. An 815bhp Ford Focus home built in Kilmarnock with no fancy computers or technology, 0-60 2.2 seconds 0-100 5.1 seconds top speed of 185mph. Bring it on...................

Make this happen!! Its exactly the kind of thing TopGear needs.
Yea its nice to see all the new cars and super cars and them going abroad etc.
But id love TopGear to be more british.
Challenges, trackdays and events in britain.

And epic cars like the AG Focus is where its at!

Fezman1

iTrader: (1)

Exactly!

And even more down to earth challenges- say early scooby, early evo, cossie or the likes

yeah need to put them up against some of the top cars that go round the track, so you can see what they are equal to. mine is only stage 3+ saph 2wd but like to see what its equal to from the cars that cost 100x more expensive than what i built it for.

Cossie Sean

watching some old ones youve had, XJ220 powered mk3 transit
old v new RS`s and golfs etc
group B cars

skyline R33 GTR and cossie powered capri v new supercars

could be do able i think

will never happen. modified old ford scene is too small for a show that big to dedicate massive airtime to it at the risk of other viewers.

Cossiemaster

Its hardly an modified old ford, it is one of a kind.


As for wanting norris evo and clark sub. Fuck them, is this forum not called passionford. Fuck trying to promote jap crap. If thats where you are move along to another site.

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Most people on here love... " jap crap"... And most with Cossie signitures sold them ages ago for a Evo or Subaru and didn't bother changing there sig....

Cossiemaster

There loss then mate. lol Fords all the way

Kevin B

Didn't a same thing pop up a few years ago to try and get Martins Escort on Top Gear - Don't think he got anywhere either?

Mr RS500

iTrader: (6)

Sad but true

steveboyslim

The Bailey Motorsport YB powered MK2 RS2000 was shown breifly on topgear several years ago.

as i also said on face book, im pretty certain this was tried a few year ago regarding martin hadland and top gear just brushed it under the carpet (i think)

carlo

iTrader: (4)

Shame if they don't I'm sure it would be more interesting than them making a car out a milk float ! Charlie I hope you take the focus to ford fair and every other ford track day this year it's been a but quiet lately without the focus on track ! Sen it on ser

Rod-Tarry

Im afraid its who you know im a friend of the editor of Topgear mag, when the new RS was launched he contacted me for it to maybe to appear on Topgear sort of it was a shite car now its a good one. My car was not running at the time .
Clarkson is interested in making money & selling books & not in 1off racing cars battling around the Topgear track. 5th gear is much more likely to be interested as it features cars not dropping a 10 ton lorry on to a Rolls Royce which Clarkson thinks makes good TV.

Agree with Rod and have a friend who works for Charlie. They won't do it. Top Gear is a brand these days and nothing else. The tv show is just an advert to a world wide audience for that brand and it does a good job at being just that at the expense of being a decent car show. The overseas stuff like north pole, India etc are good TV but so staged.

5th gear would be a better bet. Getting Tiff and Jason to tear around Combe or Millbrook in the likes of Charlie's and Ollies cars would be ace. Although I bet Charlie and Ollie would probably give them a fair run for their money!!!! I reckon mine and Lees plastic sheds would also make for entertainment in their hands too!!

This already happened as I went to see it

They were all in the same race at time attack at oultin park a few years ago 2009 or 2010 iirc when Andrew had the focus and showed them all up

dojj

iTrader: (3)

after seeing that vid of lee giving it some pasty with the car running on low boost, i think it's not going to happen as a, they've done the plastic bathtub cars to death with the stig race, secondly, they won't want to have some "yuppie" tearing it up around the track unless his race suit has red braces on it and d, it won't make it into this series

GVK.

wattie

I agree , fifth gear is a much better bet for gettin modified cars on tv, Charlie from ppc mag had his 26 litre tank engined rover sd1 on there and andy frost had that 2000bhp red victor on tearing up the streets, would be good to put Charlie's car against a gt1 car round a track see what happens

Miller 3

iTrader: (4)

I know that as we race in time attack

I was on about putting them up against production exotica/hyper cars around the top gear test track lol

Psycho Warren

iTrader: (5)

briefly yes. most older cars are shown in the context of a feature on cheap cars, old versus new, cheap supercars etc (like the saph cossie). A few older cars or randoms appear occasionally......

But you forget it has to appeal to a mass audience most of whom have a loose interest in cars, and maybe a bit of modification but are unlikely to even be aware/interested in charlie shaws car.

To them, its a race car thats quick around the track.... which to the lay person is what a race car is supposed to be....

so where would the story be?? its not like it can go on the lap board either.

01dwilkinson

Well said mate

TOOTALL

Isn't Jason Plato a member on the Piston heads site? It ain't top gear but he seems a real petrol head.
5th gear might be more likely. They did have a cardigan one handed moment before.

Second that well said!

Would be great to see it on there sure it would smash the record around the top gear track.

bigchez

really? bearing in mind it's a track only car its against the fezza fxx / maserati mc12 for example...............

awesome car and would be great to see - unfortunately i thiink its unlikely.

Cossiemaster

I love how posts like this bring out all the experts in the world, so far we have had experts on TV audiences, Media sales and we even had an expert on what Jeremy Clarkson wants from life.

People that don't have anything constructive to say should try saying F**k all for a change it might free up some web space for someone else who deserves it.....
