Thanks Al - shall watch it tonight - luckily I can receive Dave in Spain. Even the BBC i player and ITV internet programs cannot be utilised on a non UK ISP even if not live - where is the sense in that - anyone who has managed to obtain these services outside the UK please, please..... PM!

I think the programme is a great idea and I love watching it but they really need to keep on top of the editing. In todays episode there were a number of times that we were watching inboard shots of the Healey & Aston yet the sound was from the 'Vette. At one point the car changed gear without the driver moving the lever Also, when the Aston had a problem in the 'race', why were there Group C cars milling around in the pitlane too (yet not in any other pit lane footage) bit of poetic licence with the camera??
Agree with previous comments regarding the music, even the missus commented on it getting in the way of the car noises but she was even less enthusiastic when she couldn't make out what the drivers were saying because of it. Nevermind, all the pros overweigh the cons, I'm ready for next week already |

Aw, C'mon Al, I'm a Ford man but even I can tell the difference between a Big Block Chevy and a Healey six

Yeah but a Chevy always sounds like a 6 cylinder with a couple of plugs out!

just saw 20 minutes or so betwixt getting home and putting Arthur to bed,
He loved it, 'cool racing cars' he's rather taken with the Aston DP214 ! I thought it was an excellent programme this evening, far better than the Porto meeting, for obvious reasons I think. there was more of everything we like with the exception of music, if you can call it that, the 4,6, & 8 cylinder sound track suffices well, and I say that as a musician. |

It should have been titled "The Roger Wills Show" Nice Corvette
I thought it was excellent and the music wasn't playing all the time. What circuit were they using? It looked like the International but the times seemed too slow. |

It was from the GP circuit,nice to of had the crew in the Aston Paddock,it was a shame about the sound track though,V8 in the 214 changing gear mid corner!!.Is it true that the 214 was one of the first continuation cars ?

Don't suppose anyone recorded this, did they?
Would dearly love to have watched it, but only read this thread as the programme was finishing (on Dave+1)....! Regards, James |

I enjoyed 'GT Racer' last night - but what I thought was most amusing was the target demographics of the audience, as far as the advertisers were concerned ... did anyone spot the adverts for a teenage girls magazine (for them not "about them"!) repeated in every commercial break? Who do we think the advertisers thought would attract such an audience ... Anyone on here???

http://tentenths.com/forum/showpost....21&postcount=2 I didn't see the programme. Who was driving the Aston? That will probably tell me whether it was the surviving original (of two built) or one of the replicas. |
