Ls400 Series 1,2 Or 3 Required For Filming

[Steve]

ok Here is the deal

I have been approached by Men & Motors who are doing a series on various cars ect.

They are looking to film a Lexus On the Friday 26th at Donnington which is in in studio set up. Then on the 29th they need the same Lexus to drive round Bruntingthorpe Track ( not racing but if you would like to power the car around the track then thats up to you.. you are let loose)

All travelling expensis are paid for and refreshments shall be supplied.

Now... The reason they ask for a LS400 is because the car will be up alongside a 93 Jag XJ12.

They are not looking for performance levels but more on the luxury levels and why you enjoy owning a luxury motor.

You will be required for approx 3 to 4 hours on the 26th

The track is a couple of hours and can be the 29th or the 30th.

Your LS must not be any older than a 95.. but pref a 93 model.. year either way

Your car really needs to be in good nick...

If you would like to get your motor onto TV then please PM me.

[TURNER]

Its a pity its that far up north and i would say that my car is a bit too old

and what would you class as being in good nick don't know if mine's in that good of nick to qualify but others might disagree

But if you get stuck steve and no one else want to do it and my car is ok

give me a shout and i might have my arm twisted

Cheers

Andy

andy... whatever the age mate.. 91 is not going to be any diferent to a 93 on film.. only the LS is better than the jag!

Travelling expensis are paid for mate!

if you do not have any dents or scratches then why dont you apply?

If you want to wait a few days and see if anyone else applies then I can give you a snumber to call. I might come up as well if permitted by Men & Motors to watch.

I live just south of brum, about 40 mins away. could do it. Mines a champagne 93, scratches aren't noticeable. What are the start finishing times on the 26th

[Steve]

start time is 10am and you will be there for 3 to 4 hours.

They will also give you a brief interview.. nothing major.. just why do you like the car etc.

If you are definatly interested in both the dates which is friday 26th and the 29th for a filmed run on the track then please let me know. I would appreciate it if you could let me know if you are 100% positive.

[Matthew_McNally]

wow

this could be great!

Rod has already seen off the 7 series and an Audi (??? Rod? - can't remember the other model) on Pulling Power.

now we just need an LS owner to step up and see of the Jag B)

[Steve]

yes.. I thought the LS would be the car to see off the big gas guzzlers!! :D

[TURNER]

I'm interested Steve but i have still got 3 or 4 sratches around the drivers door lock that can be seen which might let the car down other than that just the usual age of the car

Let me know either way matey

[Steve]

andy.. can these scratches be disguised?

[TURNER]

Hi Steve

Tried to take a couple of photo's of the scratches and lock that some scum did trying to break into the car see what you all think

and another

Cheers

Andy

[Matthew_McNally]

sounds like they want to film the car going around the track.

surely these wouldn't be picked up?

[Steve]

well thats what i was thinking

but its also a studio shot too.

But i was thinking some of that dark green polish will cover those marks for filming.

[TURNER]

WELL THEN LETS BRING IT ON

[mudzs]

what about that scratch x stuff that should cover it

[Steve]

andy

I am gonna PM you in a sec

[Claire G]

Make sure you've got LOC stickers in prominent places - LOL!!!

[GreyBeard]

if only i could rely on mine being running by then, cos i've just spent 2,250 getting it resprayed original colours! but until it runs for a week without breaking down, i couldn't trust it!

[j88chn]

yup i am still game

[TURNER]

Hi All

Called Peter at Men and Motors today and he's pleased with the good and fast response from the club and is E-mailing me a info pack about the filming all he wants from me is a picture of the car but it looks promising and i will keep you informed

Cheers

Andy

[TURNER]

My car

[Steve]

[TURNER]

Hi Steve

I'm going to see if they will let me put the LOC number plates on for the filming

Andy

[Steve]

that would be smashing!

You wanna lay it on thick and say becasue you lived on the other side of the mountain communication was lost so steve walked for 2 days over the mountain to find the right car!
