View Full Version : Your Saxo - on TV?!


Simo
11th May 2006, 05:21
I have been approached by a TV company who are looking for two Saxos to appear in a TV shoot next week.

The shoot will be taking place on a private course in the Home Counties.

Two Saxos are needed :-

One needs to be a standard VTR or VTS... or virtually standard

One needs to be modified... no limits. Engine modifications not essential... and non-engine mod's would be preferred.

Further details will be available once the participants are known. I aim to have a definitive date available in the morning.

So, if you can be available on a day next week for a full days shoot then please register your interest here, and/or contact myself and Scott, who will be collating the info ready to communicate to the TV company. When intereted parties are known, photos will be needed to pass on.

For info, the show will be shown on Channel 5 and the discovery channel and is hosted by Chris Barrie.

The show is highlighting the Saxo as one of the principle cars in starting the trend toward people modifying relatively cheap cars themselves.

On the same day we will be filming a Mk1 Golf GTi and we will be saying how hot hatches lost popularity due to spiraling insurance costs. We will be talking about how cars with small engines (to keep within lower insurance brackets) were used to express the owners individuality. So ideally we will want one heavily modified one, the less similiarity to a normal Saxo the better, but this car needn’t have many engine mods, in fact the less the better to highlight our story that these cars were sometime modified more for appearance than for performance.

WOW!

What an excellent opportunity for the saxperience community and for
sax-p!

Can't wait to watch this develop.

Simo
11th May 2006, 13:32
My car wont be involved...

We need to make this happen... and the sooner we get some definates, the better! smileys/smiley14.gif

Please lets find cars/owners that can be AVAILABLE. We dont need to know of everyone who owns a car that fits the bill... we need to know of people who are able and willing to attend.

Petrol costs will be covered and it is likely that a contribution to loss of earnings could be made.

Everyone is welcome to put themselves forward IF they can be available.

I shall speak to the company shortly to try to firm up a date.

Then, I will need to collect a photo of interested cars... then contact details after selection.

I think Certifiable's car would be an ideal car for the heavily modified part.
But it would depend whether he wanted to drive from one end of the uk,
pretty much to the other end for it!

dannyjay
11th May 2006, 15:10
Good ones for the modified parts would be;

Certifiable
Plugs (http://www.sax-p.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34426&PN=2&TPN=1)
AdamWales (http://www.sax-p.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34482&PN=2&TPN=1)
Cloud (http://www.sax-p.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34323&PN=3&TPN=1)
vts165 (http://www.sax-p.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=33106&KW=vts165&TPN=1)

The above are the ones that spring to mind, maybe for standard, ask mikecracknell81 before he gets all his work done. smileys/smiley17.gif

Im not deciding who goes... but those wishing to go need to EMAIL me their name and contact phone number along with a photo of the car.

The shoot date has been changed!</font>

It now looks very likely that it will take place on Friday the 26th May... but still need confirmation.

So, if this suits, then pass your details to me.

Again, I can probably do that day. Car looks pretty much standard, just some VTS wheels required for that (and shims to get over the 4 pots)

If they decide they want a very fast standard one then I'm up for it (again unlikely)

Spec is in the newbie section

Does the modified car have to be vtr/s aswel? if so why couldnt a heavily modified 1.0,1.1,1.4 ect be used?.In my opinion that would be better for the point there trying to put across.

I vote for Yatesy or Mike C to be put forward for the 'standard' 'cos IMO you have the best looking cars on the forum! Mike also lives 'home counties' if i'm not mistaken...

Certifiable's car would be great for the 'heavily modded' part but it's whether he is free or can drive hundreds of miles for it...

Soooo excited to see this happen!! smileys/smiley4.gif

The TV guys will make the decision, not anyone else they will decide what they are looking for. The spec is highly modified ideally as far from original as possible. The other is for a lowly modified car it doesnt have to be 100% standard and as said the tv guys will make that decision not anyone on here.

I've just emailed you my details Simo. Not sure why to be honest. I think I might have just scraped to get them in on time to you.

Edit:- Raysax's car is blue, not black. Something else I was wondering... will there be any police presence? Probably something you don't know. Just thought I'd ask the question. Hehe!

Simo
15th May 2006, 20:13
Why would there be police presence Damo? The shoot is taking place on a private test circuit, hired by the tv company.

I have emailed the initial set of entrants moments ago... if you would still like to be included, let me know and i will forward pics... but they may find the cars they are looking for from the first batch?

Time will tell.

I'll let you all know as soon as I know... or some of you may know before me, as the tv company will contact you direct. smileys/smiley14.gif

All details will be revealed by the tv company tomorrow morning... Im simply trying to help them get what they need... Ice spoken about the show and the location but not in detail.

Pretty much all i know is listed on the first page.

Ronan (TV dude) said he would be ringing people from the list I gave him tomorrow morning, to check availability, etc, etc.

goldsaxovtr... Getting all keen are we!?! Hehe! smileys/smiley2.gif

I was just thinking... if the location was to be near FCS, then if I 'was' chosen which I can't see why I would be, then I'd have to go up for the shoot, drive back down home and then back up again on the Saturday morning. Haha! Well done Damo smileys/smiley8.gif

Not true...

I think the thread your referring to was for a BBC ad, which I arranged through sax-p and SSC.

The thing with TV setups is that its always last minute. They wont confirm a date iuntil they know everything is setup and remeber the weather plays a major role.

All details have been passed on and if it happens, it will happen.

Nothing more I can say...

Ok... to clarify.

Amanda and Adam have been selected for inclusion in the shoot and have discussed arrangements with Ronan (TV Dude).

Ronan has told me that if any of the other names/cars put forward would like to attend on the day, then something could 'possibly' be worked out.

If you are able/willing to turn up to this shoot, then I can put you in touch with Ronan (as he has requested)... let me know!

23rd May 2006, 20:04
If a number of local people are willing to go down to the shoot at no cost to the TV company, then there is a good chance of being featured in the shoot.

There has also been some talk of night time shoots in parade, etc.

If you are interested, post here...

Guys/Girls.

Unfortunately Amanda is no longer able to attend the shoot on Friday and therefore we REALLY need another standard Saxo.

If you are available and want to get involved, let me know asap.

Also... the TV director is very happy for other Saxos to attend. Again, if you would like to attend please let mew know ASAP, so that I can pass details on to the TV company and also to you. I need contact details from you... phone and email.

I wont be around a great deal today, so moderators, please keep me upto date with developments via phone/text, etc.
