Beat wanted for TV show

[UltraViolet]

Hiya folks,

I am really hoping that some of you (or at least one of you) is going to make it to JAPS this Sunday (26th June)

Always nice to see the Beats (and we don't see enough of you) at events, but this time there is an ulterior motive.

TV Cameras are going to be coming and they want to film the Cappuchino and the Beat. The chap is quite keen on Hondas in general so I feel the Beat will be shown in a good light - is anyone up for it???

If so, please email me; sammy@hondarevolutions.com

Thanks

[UltraViolet]

Filming schedule being set today, so please email ASAP if you want to make the Beat a star.

Travel expenses will be covered.

come on folks, lets get the beat on the tele!

Whiteleotard? you up for it? (i saw you the other day by the way at the M42/A5 junction, i was in the black CRV, tooting!)

E-mail sent :) Any idea where the event is?

[UltraViolet]

Email replied to - need a telephone number to let TV chap discuss details direct. Fingers crossed, the Beat is going to be on TV! :D

[PP1]

I hope its not too late to join. Gonna be a long trip from Kent :bounce:
I will also be down at the KM in Hop fram since its just up the road from where I work :D
Just came back from GT battle, and saw a yellow beat there too.

[UltraViolet]

I didn't get an email with contact number so no firm arrangement made. But the TV show does want a Beat, so if anyone can bring one to Thorsby Park, Ollerton (near Nottingham) tomorrow - please do. Travel expenses will be covered and filming will be later in the afternoon so no need for a rediculously early start.

Look for the Honda Revolutions stand and ask for Sammy.

[Wh1teLeopard]

By the way guys, the new series of the used car roadshow starts on the 1st August on Men and Motors, keep an eye out for me and my ickle beatie :)

[UltraViolet]

Hiya Beat people - just a quick note to let you know that the episode filmed at Thorsby Park is on 8pm Monday.

Wh1teLeopard's Beat has a starring role along with my NSX and lots of Civics (and spot the 'imposter' ;) )

Hope we don't come across as a bunch of anoracks/geeks - but I guess we may. :D

[Wh1teLeopard]

Thanks again for the invite, had an interesting time hee hee. Your club really does Honda proud :)

[UltraViolet]

Glad you enjoyed it. The event (and our flirtation with the media) makes it into the current issue of the Club mag - including a picture of the silver Beat that was there.

Sadly didn't get a good pic of your car though. Although your car is currently pictured on the Men & Motors website!! :D

Don't forget to tune in ........ I spoke with Katie today - she had asked me to make sure I contacted you to let you know it was on. :cool:

[Wh1teLeopard]

Hee hee, that's great. Thank you for letting me know, have been watching it every week waiting for it. :D

Was the episode changed or did we miss the Beat bit?

We watched the first half-hour and recorded the second half-hour but didn't notice it :confused:

Andy.

[UltraViolet]

I have no idea what happened ...... they seemed to repeat the 1st episode at Santa Pod when our episode is the one at Thorsby Park.
:confused:
I will ask them what happened and when the episode will be on......

[UltraViolet]

It will be on this coming 5th September Monday 8pm or catch it on the Saturday 'repeat' 3rd September (earlier - 1pm, 2pm I think)

[adrianp]

Excellent, Must remember to set the video...:help:

[jurek]

Hi UltraViolet XXX
I know I am blond but the repeat cant be befor the first showing unless its on the BBC....lol..

[UltraViolet]

Oh it can in this case.

The show was scheduled for its first showing Monday 29th August at 8pm. It was scheduled to be repeated in the early hours, then again Saturday 3rd September.

As they broadcast the incorrect show in the Monday 8pm slot, they are going to show it in the next Monday 8pm slot. However they had it correctly in the 'repeat' slots - so the repeats are being shown before the 'first show' in accordance with the schedule slots.

Confused?

Lol

[Wh1teLeopard]

Please forgive me if i've ruined it for beat owners everywhere... I apologise in advance :(

[Paul w]

Thank god for my Tivo....! Just told it to grab all of them!

[UltraViolet]

Just watched it - Emily, you and your car both looked great.

My car looked pretty good too. It had been a long day and I was keeping my sunburn covered - I looked shabby! :suicide: lol

hee hee thank you (my god didn't I sound like a brummy???) and nonsense you looked just fabulous :D Gotta say your NSX looked stunning too... think the presenter nearly drooled all over it hee hee

[UltraViolet]

Isn't it funny how noticable your accent is when on TV - I was thinking cripes, I sound like I'm off 'doont pit'

I think he was rather taken with it - but he is fickle, he seems to be 'bowled over' by some car every week. Penny was talking to me though and was very complimentary about the car - I was very chuffed by her comments. :D

[UltraViolet]

Oh - and check the thread over on the Honda Revolutions Club forum..... http://forum.hondarevolutions.com/viewtopic.php?p=620974#620974

Looks like one of our members is fancying a Beat after seeing yours.
:cool:

[Andy V]

I forgot about today's showing of the prog :(

.... but we'll watch Monday's instead :)

In the meantime, thinking about the footage of Jeremy Clarkson in a Beat on Top Gear - still available at
http://www.skidmarks.co.uk/topgear.htm

..... does anyone have the technology to capture the relevant part of the Men & Motors programme in the same way?

Andy.

[UltraViolet]

If anyone can do this - any chance they can also do the same with the NSX bit so I can send it to my Dad in Australia?

[Paul w]

there is a way i can pull stuff off my tivo, but i've never done it... i'll have a look.....


PW

[JGGIB]

who owns that beat now? nearly the same reg as mine.(the one on top gear)

[adrianp]

I can pull them off video BUT the quality is a bit high meaning the file size is HUGE...

I'll look at trying to reduce the file size a bit if I can and put it up on my website somewhere for a short while.

Not sure when it will be done though, I'll have a look once I've finished re-doing my PC.

Ultraviolet, if you drop me a pm with your address, I'll pop the whole program onto DVD for you if you want to send it off to Oz.

Ady.

[JGGIB]

was it on ?wtched it and did not see Beat.......:confused:

[Wh1teLeopard]

By the sounds of it they didn't play the beat episode today. Don't think they liked us :(

I do have it on video, will see if I can copy it to another tape... it is a little quiet but you can hear it ok if you turn your tv up.

Reply to JGG1B

The Beat seen on Top Gear (highly praised by Mr Clarkson!) also seen in May 1992 Performance Car magazine and April 2003 Evo, is still with me and still going strong. Been in my possession since Sept 1992.

Was at JAE this year on the Saturday.

David :)

[JGGIB]
