Land Rover related?

Yup

The team i'm director of motorsport for - project mobility - we had top gear film us in wales in may, theyre putting the piece out on sunday for the last in the series program  :pomppomp:

i sent some of our boys down to the studio yesterday for the studio links (i didnt go as i dont fancy standing for 6 hours in a warehouse)

you'll see our freelander zooming round the hillside in the BCCC chased by a wildcat

Sure i do the graphics on the cars, you'll spot a cherry here or there no doubt but my role is more involved than that.

if anything you'll see why ive not been about much of late  :ashamed:

But the film is good, very proud of it and top gear have done it very well, cant wait to get your feedback on it!

I was sitting in front of the telly with a broken leg feeling sorry for myself.  Then we got to the last film, and wow.

The best Top Gear piece I think I've ever seen.  Even better than Sabine Schmidt - and I never thought I'd say that (though it's for different reasons, obviously!)

 :notworthy:

That piece at the end was awesome, and most inspiring. I was watching with my family and when I saw the LR I just yelled out "I know who did the stickers on that!" my family looked at me like I was a bit nuts  :laugh:

On a serious note though, outstanding work you're doing VC, and all those boys in the team!  :congrats:
