Well one old Vauxhall anyway...filming was done on Monday to be aired next Monday at 8pm on Channel 5...The producer/director/presenter were really pleased with the footage they got..... Thanks to Dave and Helen for some S/E footage that'll also be in the feature.....
Also you'll be glad to know that subtitles WILL be available....


This was on the Street Eliminator Forum.

Whether you're interested in drag racing or not, let me say that if you ever get the chance to take a look under the hood of Andys car, do it!  

The twin turbo installation is a work of art; it was carried out by Altiss Engineering and the standard and quality of work is something to see, believe me.

As featured in Custom Car a couple of years back ?

Also in a  . . . 118 advert . . . ?  Or similar at least.

To get all that to fit in a Vauxhall Viva is quite something.

I chanced upon that episode more by luck than judgement!

I'll think you'll find it was a 1972 Victor

To true, he has to put it on the ramps to change the plugs as there is no way of reaching them from the top.

It was in full street trim, he could have driven it home if not for the weather and 5 miles to the gallon

Saw it by mistake whilst channel flicking. Car looks brilliant - unlike fifth gear Its just a really lame top gear wannbe imo. Maybe its just me but they dont give much of an impression of liking cars all that much

That said VB-H (quite)

Ditto as I commented on the previous 5th Gear thread, the new male Presenter is terrible, no character and can't drive
