You know I'm sureI have seen your Marina in a Youtube video racing around some circuit... :twisted:
Either Snetterton in '04 or Mallory Park in '07 at Retro-Rides, oh, and the Pod in 06 at CARS.....

Just found it.... me at Retro-Rides '07, just before the Kenlowe fan disintegrated... God that looks slow, it felt a lot faster and at least I posted the same time as someone ina Fiat Twin-Cam engined Minor.......

The episode finally screened here tonight. Had to laugh when the marina won the ice race.
How about using Jezza's "the Marina is the best rwd car" quote on T-shirts and the website. 8) Play them at their own game. :P
Has someone got the episode to get the exact quote from?

One final thought - perhaps you could really wind Jezza up and deflect TG's attention by appending "Vauxhall Fan Club" to any Marina-bashing complaints.

Just going to have to let it ride...he was going to do it in his DVD!
The more we react the worse it gets...be glad you own a Marina and its safe from their hands and shrug your shoulders!
The irony is new series starts this weekend, why get his DVD when you get the same for free via the BBC?
Well I will still enjoy the new series and GRIT my teeth when there is any Marina bashing...
Fueled by Tea!

If you see the clip I think the Stig was placed in the car after the said item was dropped!
I would not think they would have put someone in there and then dropped the piano!
Shame JC was not in it :roll:
