Anyone got an MPEG of the review that Vicki Butler Henderson did of the FD in this episode?  All I have been able to find is:

Wonder if my better half would mind time-sharing me with VBH.

Time for a fan/stalker site I think...

Lee,

I haven\'t but if nothing turns up in a few days I\'ll try that route. I doubt they would help me even though it is not for any commercial gain.

Cheers

What about Steve Brooks who produced the Newera video and used to be on FDUK? He works for the BBC I think and may be able to pull a few strings?

Dear Kevint,
Apologies for the delay in responding to your request. I may be your new best friend. I have this on videotape, having recorded it from the original broadcast. I have not responded earlier because I am still feeling a bit sheepish for having accidentally taped over
part of it. There is approx half/two thirds remaining.
Its a beautiful blue1999 facelift RS, possibly sourced from T.H. White in Surrey.
VBH is in good form too, though she is a bit unhappy about the interior accomodation.
If you want to risk a look at it....let me know, and I will sling it in the post.

Dear Scooby_Si
It is even more embarassing than you are hinting at- due to a lethal combination of a senior moment, and a lapse of concentration, my beloved Top Gear recording of the RX-8, and part of the 1999 RS were obliterated forever by a recording of a
CH4 documentary about a certain publicity shy former premier league football player and his publicity shy songstress wife.....neither known for their rotary mania.
There is but no justice in this world. I beg forgiveness.

fdman:rolleyes:

Either of the FDs in that belong to someone on here?

Would be an excellent thing to include in a sale.

Blue RX7, driven by V. Butler Henderson 9 years ago... no test drives or seat sniffing without proof of insurance. :yes

Jesus christ does she ever take it over 5k rpm?.

She makes it look slow and boring, driving it like an old lady.
