I am still buzzing right now. Despite large amounts of standing around, it was a brilliant experience!tomscott said:Absolutely epic you must be well chuffed! Nice car
Nope, we only get one presenter!mr wilks said:don't suppose VBH was there ?
Let's hope they don't take the obvious Boxter S route. It might have been fairer to put an M up against that. What a buzz to have your car on TV though and brilliant if it wins! 
I quietly confident with the way things wen't. JP had a manual 3.0 Z4 some years back and is a fan. The director commented that JP drove the car in a much more "spirited" way than the other cars, so he clearly felt at home and he also loved the auto box.Stuart Truman said:Let's hope they don't take the obvious Boxter S route.

But it's hard to tell, and will have to wait for the final edits.
More piccies, now I've had a sort through (apologies the are from my camera phone).
The opposition first. Porsche Boxster S 3.2.
Mazda RX-8 (with one of those Wankel type engines!) complete with Chromed Alloys.
Z4 3.0 Auto.
Jason Plato's weapon of choice!
Err, hang on. Complete coincidence there was a Z4 2.0 in the hotel car park.
Jason Looking very much at home!
How many camera crew guys does it take? 4 apparently.
You start filming things while I stuff the microphone up this squirrel!

Fantastic. Jason Plato comes across as a decent guy. Is he? He can certainly drive. Don't forget to post when you find out when it's going out
Both manuals. Sadly the researcher struggled to get any Porker owners to offer their car for the day. Got no response what so ever from the Porker forums. Friday afternoon he resorted to Autotrader and cold calling people. The guy who brought the porker had to run down to the Post Office for a tax disc so he could bring it (paid for by Fifth Gear).pvr said:
The RX-8 owners club were a little more on the ball, and we had their club secretary come down from Yorkshire for filming.
If I sell it, I'm going to put on the ad "as driven by Jason Plato"Aebous said:
He actually is. Spent a lot of time laughing and joking with us and telling stories I really don't think I can broadcast.Leesfarm07 said:Fantastic. Jason Plato comes across as a decent guy. Is he? He can certainly drive. Don't forget to post when you find out when it's going out
Aired in March/April next year. The request came through to the BMW Car Club. Another car was volunteered, but was an Alpina so didn't fit in with their requirement for the day. They then needed someone quick to replace them, and I volunteered as I'm between contracts at the moment.
The average used car price is around £5300 at the moment, so they were looking for three cars to feature which could be purchased for around that price. Looking at prices on the usual sources a Z4 is certainly an option in that price range. They weren't that bothered that mine is technically worth more, but obviously the Alpina is considerably more.

make sure you give us some warning when it is going to be on
edit
too much
could you give us some warning just before it is aired?
