Film project, early days.......

[aden]

id be up for it

soon put my std wheels n plates back on

[dannyb]

i'd offer my car but i doubt they had super slammed mk1 fiestas

back in the 80's.

[FredTransit]

How far is your fez lowered danny?

[dannyb]

ive lowerd it quite a bit.

 

[Tom]

I'm local to there fred but i dunno if the blue stripes and wheels would be fitting with those times?

 

Also i signed up to your site but never sent you the pics, can i have the email address again and i'll send them over

[100edave]

Both of my Escort mk2s would be good for this, im only down the road and they are standard (i have the original wheels as well) cos not every one had Mexicos and RS2000's you know

[FredTransit]

This is true, I struggled to find a 'ordinary' Mk1 for 'The Queen'

[Mr2Caps]

Can offer you my 1986 laser capri, although it has been destickered and has 16's on it, which I can't put back to standard due to the front brake set up......... also have my Mk2 which is a 1978 Ghia pic below!

Reasonably local to Longcross, marshalled there many times.....

[caprinerd]

might be able to get a capper fred if your willing to pay petrol from norfolk babes

 

Might be a bit far mate, I am awaiting the arrival of a laser meself! More bout that later.....

not a prob babes, im down london for a couple of days as from tomorrow will see whats about with mates down there and see if there`s anything you could use

[FredTransit]

Now has a website, again still early days. Trying to get a producer interested, also might get some proper funding so won't have to ask for stuff for nothing!

Any thoughts?

[Savvi]

Do we need to add our cars to the website or do they do that ?

 

This ones now up & running, slight dent on the n/s door but don't show up much.

 

You would have to fit false plates as mines a "86, but these came out in "83.

 

 

 

It needs to earn some money if you have anything for it

[FredTransit]

You can register and upload cars. There's also a forum for ideas and feedback.......

[dean307e]

yeah wouldnt mind gettin the thames or transit recovery on there

[FredTransit]

Thames? Would be interested in seeing that. Is it modified?

[FredTransit]

Keep em coming, trying to get interest in this one.

[Mk2Jo]

I have been to the location a number of times for Sprints and my dad worked there for 25 years before they closed the testing area ... nice road set up in there

[Noodles]

Shame mines modded but sarahs ikle fezza is standard

[FredTransit]

Yep, a fez would be nice, I haven't got anything small on the books at the mo. Sign up!

[FredTransit]

Oh Arse. Longcross are booked up till February, with Disney and Warners fighting over the last available corner . Can anybody suggest any likely locations? Within the M25 is favourite, Greater London or Herts too.

 

We are thinking

 

quiet streets

Industrial estates

Housing estates

All pre 1980s

 

Plan B of desperation is to do it in true Sweeney style, wait till nobody is looking/coming and go for it!

[l j shaw]

Why not look at all the closed down military bases, i know they have a few that have closed.

[FredTransit]

That's what Longcross is! But you have a point, I know Quinetiq (who run ex MOD Longcross) have other sites. Wonder if there is anything on 28 days later ?

[l j shaw]

Lots more than longcross, you could even contact defence land agency, you may even get a list of areas you can book and use.

Thanks for the link! I will follow that up. Only thing is, looks like the MOD want you to have £5Mil's worth of insurance, which is more than we wanted to get.
