Top Gear - Can anyone help with this one?

[cgordon]

Jeremy Clarkson and James May test drove a De Lorean on Top Gear. Does anyone know what series this was in? I am trying to get hold of the footage. Thanks.

I'm pretty damn sure i have seen every episode of top gear since james may joined but i don't think i have heard anything about them test driving a delorean. The only one I have seen was when they had Patrick Kielty's in the studio but they didn't drive that. Unless I have missed an episode?!

[MikeH]

i think i may have found it, gimme some time to download it and find out

I saw the picture at the following website - http://www.delorean-hire.co.uk/html/dmc_t_v.html they may just have had one in the studio then. Do you know roughly which series Patrick Kielty's was in?

[Rach J Young]

I don't know what series it is but I think i have it on VHS, and I might be able to find out what series it was.

The episode with Patrick Kielty in became a club event. Claire wrote an in-depth article about it in a recent DOC club magazine. Robin Simpson's DeLorean was used for studio shot as Patrick's car was in Belfast I think.

Another five or so cars came along and most of us can be found on the show in the audience.

I don't think I have missed a single episode of TG since they changed the format and moved the show to Dunsfold Airfield in Guildford. I remember seeing a segment of Driving Passions where Tiff Needell was driving a DeLorean. If Top Gear was driving a DeLorean it would have been a long time ago...

Thanks Andy, this is also source to find a clip of Tiff driving a DeLorean with a partially baggy saggy headliner...

Try going on Tamirs DeLorean Site, loads of videos on there - all converted to MP4.

Hi Chris,

The Top Gear one we all went to when Robin's car was in the studio was July 2004, because we all went to 'Classics on the Common' in Harpenden on the way home.

I dont *remember* writing an article for the mag...... anyway, I havent got any old mags to check back on, as Dave kept pretty much everything DeLorean related when we split up - except my D of course! :lol:

I remember we were the first there, and there was your car and DGS parked together when Jezza pulled up in his Merc SL, smoking a fag, and said "look, its Michael J Fox!". To which I said to him, "I thought you gave up smoking?" He looked at me, grinned and said "yes, I *did*"

I know a lot of people think Jezza is a bit of a git, but off camera he's totally different to how he is on the telly.

It was a great day out, and I'd love to go again some time.
