The garages they were filming at on Smithywood Road belong to my parents. I was on holiday when they filmed it so they came round this morning to show me the photos. My Dad was miffed that Jeremy Clarkson refused any autographs, and wouldn't even talk to anyone, he never even said thankyou to my mum & dad for the loan of the garages!

He did however insist on flipping the Reliant over on the drive himself, and apparently the rejected stunt man walked away muttering 'I hope you f-ing kill yourself'. Guessing they aren't best of friends!

 

Mum said the funniest part was watching them try and squeeze Jeremy into the bubble car.

 

(By the way, my Dad is the guy who gave the 'interview' to the Star reporter, and he says they made half the story up because they got carted away by security within 2 minutes!)

Only just come to this forum.

So i hope no one minds me re opening this thread.

My Reliant was one of those on the show (Green Regal).

We (ROC) were invited and had a good day out (and free sandwiches). Mr Clarkson was'nt stand offish at all. We took phot's even when they were filming, the security men were spot on. I was quite suprised Mr C was doing his own stunts.

Couple of points, the car Mr C was driving wasn't the same car he was turning over, nor was it the same car that went in the river at the end.

The car that was turned over had odd size wheels, with a 13" wheel on the front, instead of a 10" and a 12" one one side and a 10" on the t'other it was going to turn over anyway.

We knew it was going to be a bit of a P take when we were invited but as was seen we gave Mr C a hard time. Straight line T' pit has got to go down in the annuls of history.

I've been driving Reliants Finest since the 70's and never turned one over yet.

(i also drive (proper cars)(?)

like the program said the norm was learn on a motorcycle, pass your bike test buy a Reliant and when you couldn't get anymore kids in the Reliant, pass your car test and buy a car.

Now-a-days it's pass your test, and start saving up for the insurance.
