Tamworthbay Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I think many things are fakeable but some of the looks seemed very genuine. I like to think I would try anything like that once but a couple of spots on that road have my arse cheeks clenching waiting for them to go over.

HMC Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Interesting in a “special” to see the effect of 3 broadcaster/ journalists as it was, to 1 amongst the 3 only. Not being in a studio/ audience situation is the defining difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had been re engineered underneath no engine obvs but the wheels were linked with a beam axle front and rear; subframes notable by their absence.

The fella that resprayed it for them is in the Metro groups. As you can see by the grille, it was a cheap and quick respray to make it stand out on the telly. The car itself was for sale for ages and nobody bought it due to dodgy rust issues etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

face Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 It’s still a little forced at times, but OK. The review of the Atom was top stuff, Harris is excellent at that. Great camera work too. Twin-Cam and Jamie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMC Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 ^ yes agreed on the atom segment. Also nice shot of Harris heel and toeing for those that like to see a performance car driven well. face and Twin-Cam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the structural parts of the car were replaced with ones suitable for the stunt hahaha You can see on the underside that there are no subframes and where the exhaust was is now a box section.
