Ain't we the journo Mr Bibs!

[Bibs]

Erm , the BBC are running with it online today but I've been told I may get a call from the TV or Radio people! :lol:

[Backmarker]

BBC can't pay for the story Bibs but commercial radio/television can/will. Could be means of fund raising, so think before opening gob and spilling all to Aunty.

Graham.

[Kimbers]

Any press is good press IMHO.

[Bibs]

Catryn called Simon and she's also calling Brian @ Lotus for an interview too

She sounds lovely, want me to ask her to give you a call dude?

[bigsi]

[Simon350S]

Yes please.....

Ask her if she'd like to dicuss it over dinner.....

[Kimbers]

With those man boobs and beer belly?

(Actually I can't talk......)

[Setras]

I know that I joined after all of this fantastic work and have seen all the effort put in through reading the threads. I even told friends of the forums collaboration and they were "gobsmacked". I was pleased for Simon (and watched the presentation on youtube lots).

It is nice to see those involved rewarded for their outstanding work in keeping this beautiful classic on the road, just shows their love for the car. Recognition where it is deserved in my opinion.

Purza - Great Spot well done! Threads merged as same topic

Edit: It's also linked from the main BBC News front page, what fantastic publicity for LEF. Well done Bibs and Si!

[XRS]

Well done to eneryone involved - you should be proud of yourselves. I was fortunate enough to drive an Esprit Turbo a few years ago, and it was a fantastic experience - like my old Europa on steroids

I love to see these old cars living on - well done again.

[Tentenths]

Type 25 eh? Nice

Which one you got... original or current version?

Seriously thinking about one meself. Went down to see Iain earlier in the year. Bit of a heart/head thing at the mo - heart says Type 25, head/wallet says Forester Sti.

Right, back on topic. Excellent write up on the BBC website. Well done chaps! Just went over to PH to cross link but someone's beaten me to it.

That's amazing, I'm glad we're able to cheer up some more people!

Hope you're not too embarrassed being on the front page of the BBC website Si, glad they didn't use those 'special' pics of you I sent them, the thong looked a bit too tight!

Great article - well done Bibs, All.

ABC Australia want to take up the story - but 'Gazza doesn't get back from Wingeer-a-ma-doo with a carton of Fosters to switch on the power generator, so all 150 of us can catch the broadcast, after the goons.
