lotusless Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 what is the sweeney? enlighten me, i thought it was only a movie you are joking right
Retro-gone. Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 proffessionals is too modern for me, Sweeney is more up my street, best cars on there, seen every episode loadsa times
evil knievel Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Posted October 5, 2008 what is the sweeney? enlighten me, i thought it was only a movie you are joking right no, i'm 16.
DAZZA Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 Did anyone see one of the first episodes where the curley dude drove an x-pak capper with bits of primer on it?
evil knievel Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Posted October 5, 2008 ahh thats doyle. no i've not seen that one, hope i do soon earliest one i've seen they are in a triumph. loving cowleys granadas though!! especially the red one
Ken B Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 The very first episodes of the proffesionals had them driving British Leyland tosh as their regular steeds, because the deal with Ford hadn't been completed, a bad PR disaster for BL but not surprising.
Copey Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 its actually a very good program, i initially watched it for the cars, but the plots are really good most the time
Univex Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 The very first episodes of the proffesionals had them driving British Leyland tosh as their regular steeds, because the deal with Ford hadn't been completed, a bad PR disaster for BL but not surprising. I heard it was because BL couldn't garuntee the same cars from week to week for filming. So Doyle might be driving an SD1 in one seen, then a Metro in the next lol. That's why the producers approached Ford.
bortaf Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 The production company was still stuck in a dea lwith BL from when the New Avengers finished i think? As stated BL couldn't even get 2 TR7s to run for long enough to match them from scene to scene no wonder they went under all those times
Savvi Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 what is the sweeney? enlighten me, i thought it was only a movie you are joking right no, i'm 16.
evil knievel Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Posted October 5, 2008 cool, i will check that out!!
caprinerd Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 sorted savvi nice find http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHZA9vBk ... re=related
FredTransit Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 cool, i will check that out!! OMG. There is somebody who is into Old Skool Fords who hasn't seen the Sweeney! I don't care how young you are, shame on you..... Now go away and watch Dave for a few hours, you know it makes sense.
Savvi Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 Even my 6 year old sits and watches the sweeney with me He loves the old cars and keeps asking if i've had one of those or whats that one called Dad.
john_3.0s Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 much prefer the sweeny, better story lines way more gritty and no poncy permed hair there are two sweeny feature lenght episodes (movies), the first one being better - obviously where regan drives a red mk1 escort into a skip after having a bottle of scotch funneled down his throat
