I think this is a 1991 Audi 100 Avant quattro. |

The Audi is on Northern Irish plates, I read it as CDZ 256. https://www.mycarcheck.com/check/CDZ256/ |

Anyone want to know anything else? It's my car, and I'm driving it. I've yet to see the "making of" film yet, but I did shoot a fair bit of it. Cheers, Chris |

"Anyone want to know anything else? It's my car, and I'm driving it. I've yet to see the "making of" film yet, but I did shoot a fair bit of it." Hi Chris, If you happen to pick up on this, I have a few queries. Where was the location used and what sort of mounts / camera heads were you using? Looks like straight forward grip stuff, but couldn't see the camera. I've seen previews of the series but not a full episode. Regards Neill W |

Hi Neill, This particular shoot was at the Loton Park Hillclimb in Shropshire, UK. The camera mounts consist of a 6" suction mount fitted with a ball & socket head plus a custom made camera plate, supported with 2 bracing arms to a pair of 4" suction mounts. I seem to remember that the cameras that time were a pair of Sony PDX10's. We rigged the cameras front & back and alternated between chasing & being chased. Great fun, but I went through front tyres rather quickly! Apparently I was getting a rear wheel in the air at one of the other locations we use for filming. I've since lowered the car slightly by fitting Eibach springs which makes it all a bit stiffer and vastly improves the look of the car. She's now getting a little long in the tooth as 173,000 miles approach, but is still a wonderful car to drive. Number was a Xmas gift from the wife: CD (my initials) Z (as in "of") 256 (4x4x4x4 or 4 to the power of 4). Both car and plate will eventually be up for sale when I move to France for the quiet life... Cheers, Chris |

The 100/S4 Avant C4 was marketed as 'Estate' in the UK. |
