G-MANN ◊ 2006-10-22 15:04	If cars have British numberplates, check the DVLA site first to find the year of manufacture and engine size (useful for Mercs and BMWs), because the letter the registration begins or ends with could be for one of two years (they used to go onto the next letter in the summer of each year): http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/ Sometimes they don't have the record for some cars but it's always worth checking. -- Last edit: 2006-10-22 15:06:53
G-MANN ◊ 2006-10-23 12:19	Where did you get these images, Stronghold?
Star Wars Fanatic ◊ 2006-10-23 13:39	There is a few episodes from this era floating around.
G-MANN ◊ 2006-10-23 13:47	Where can I see them?
Star Wars Fanatic ◊ 2006-10-23 14:30	Your typical p2p sites and software, I guess. I'm not sure if they are as readily avilalbe now though, as I think it was just from somebody who had taped loads of them before and got round to converting them. They dated from 1989 - 1994 I think, and had the episodes with Jeremy's first appearance and road test of a Ford Escort

Star Wars Fanatic ◊ 2006-10-23 21:04	It was just the normal road going Escort that was brand new for it's time, of 1990.

Star Wars Fanatic ◊ 2006-10-24 14:30	landrover1 wrote do you have pics? i love all the ford models(that includes all the ford group cars) I just have 2 episodes, one of which contains the Escort so yes. Stronghold, do you have any episodes from 1989 or 1990? If not, I can do these 2 episodes. -- Last edit: 2006-10-24 14:38:22
antp ◊ 2006-10-24 14:46	stronghold >> it is not useful to make the series appear in "recently completed" each time you add pictures You can do it sometime when it was not there since long time, or sometimes when you add lots of pictures. Else half of the "recently completed" are all the time the same, as some series are often updated with new cars. -- Last edit: 2006-10-24 14:46:43

antp ◊ 2006-10-24 17:15	What I mean is that since you started to fill this page, "Top Gear" is nearly all the time one of the first of the list It would maybe be better to cleck the "mark as updated" only when it disappeared from the list since few days. I say that because the movies (as opposition to series) will probably only be listed in recently updated once or two, and not anymore later, so they should not disappear too fast from the list by series that are updated lots of times. -- Last edit: 2006-10-24 17:16:10

G-MANN ◊ 2006-11-01 11:06	There's a few old clips of the show on Youtube actually, I've just seen one about the Mercedes 600.
Star Wars Fanatic ◊ 2007-02-02 23:51	This was Jeremy Clarkson's first ever appearance on the show, in 1989:
dudley ◊ 2007-03-28 21:02	This was Top Gear when it lasted just 30 minutes and talked about residuals, fuel economy, insurance and dodgy dealerships. No wonder is was axed in this format.
