Cool! Thanks for that. I'll record it on Sky+ so if anyone misses it and wants a VHS copy, let me know. Assuming that it is actually on, of course!

Probably crashing minis to show how unsafe they are!

Thats the 5th Gear way.

woo bein wonderin when that was on heard bout it other day

[miniman]

Ahhhh, lots of Minis and VBH with her legs out.

[GreaseNipple]

Yeah not a bad show, wish they had more of the holeshot mini tho . its repeated on wednesdays at half 7 , and no i dont work for channel 5

[gtrclive]

Was that the Holsshot car or the Huddersfield Mini Spares car, as they both look the same ?

[Plotloss]

It was the Huddersfield Mini Spares car.

I cant wait

[gtrclive]

It was also nice to see the Chap at the end, with all his money and lovley car collection, he still bought a mini and used it in a Historic Rally. Now that shows the appeal of the Mini to a Tee.

[Plotloss]

Indeed it did.

I didnt know that they were given to journalists, that was a new one on me I have to say.

Also VBH looking tres saucy.

A stunning episode of 5th Gear on the whole...

[gtrclive]

Please don't get me started on VBH

They are both the same car!!

When I moved house 7 years ago my wife and I had 4 classic cars: two Cooper 'S's (fully Historic Rally Prepped, one a 1293 and the other a 970), a 1973 Carrera RST (genuine), and a 1975 RR Silver Shadow. The new house only had a two-bay garage so guess which two we kept - that's right, the 2 Coopers. It was no contest really!
That's what Minis do to you, I must be a real dedicated Mini person. The Minis gave/give more pleasure per mile than any other cars I've ever owned.

What makes you say that ?

[Vasi]

The featured car on the programme had Huddersfield Mini Spares in the windscreen.

[Plotloss]

Its owned by the guy who owns HMS.

Holeshot have their own car I think.

Will be visiting them next week, I'll ask.

Holeshot sold the car to them

[gtrclive]

That would explain alot.... as they looked very similar, but it looks like he has lowered it.
