Crowmans Big Day Out

Yesterday, Martyn had rather a special day out. Luckily for me, he was able to take someone with him and he asked me to join him!

Martyn's P1 Prototype was chosen as the example car for a new TV series being screened in the autumn, to show a shining example of the Subaru Impreza Marque.

Made by the same company who make Wheeler Dealers, the programme will be aired on Nat Geo and is titled "Strippers". In which cars are broken and sold by two teams, the one who gets the most cash from the parts they sell wins. Martyns programme will be when 1 team has an Evo to break and one team a Scooby.

We had a fantastic time, were really well looked after and just generally had a fookin blast all day. Cheers for letting me tag along pal

Below are just a few pictures for now, no time today really. More to follow next week.

Nice, that sounds a lot of fun. Great photos Steve, especially like the 3rd one with the water reflection

Make sure you give us a heads-up when its on tv!

[majorscooby]

Glad the weather held! and what an oppotunity.

Loving the pics, puddle reflection is awesome.

[Hongkongfooi]

Sounds a strange programme, unless I'm missing something, any programme called strippers should involve some

Lol Tim, that's just what we said

[C. J.]

Longcross makes sence now

On tv putting even more value to it. Fantastic pics.











Not sure what that white car is though?

Lol, to be honest it was all done at about 50 to 70mph , appart from the drive by stuff where I did on one lap do 90mph

[SUBARMAN]

Great stuff Chaps!!!!

:SUBARMAN:

[thepieman]

Gutted to not be able to make it an Admin day out guys, but family had to take priority as you know

Great pics as always Steve wasted doing what your doing for a living can't wait to see the others......

Martyn, great to hear how well the day went for you most important thing is, finally you realise just how special that car you have is after all the attention of the last two days, still want a spec-C?

This must rate as one of your best long weekends spot on TV shoot Friday and a great day out yesterday at the P1 annual meet at Banbury Car looked stunning yesterday, honestly the cleanest I've seen it turning heads on the M25 /M40 would be an understatement even the GT3rs slowed to take a look

Think the Rover Turbo was gutted as he gave it plenty of beans His face was a picture seeing that I didn't change down

They were not looking to shabby together.....

[Lucky]

Fantastic. Such an nice car martyn. I've said it before, but those two cars together really are something special.

[riiidaa]

Awesome mate,

I'm thrilled for you! You're certainly having a better week than me.

[Anger]

Carefree

Can't win em all .
Very pleased I left at 2nil and am now sat at home .

Thanks for the coments mate
It was a real shame you couldn't make it .
Bad bloomin timing , I really hope everything is good now with your family thing.

Has been a crackin few days for sure. Loved that very sexy GT3 RS driving along side for a while having a good look , then giving a nod and smile as he pulled away .
As for the Rover coupe trying it on , pmsl .

The pair do look smart in the picture, shame prodrive wasn't open , I want to have a chat about the prototype , have a few questions about it .

Theres only so much you can take, turns out it was the smartest move of the day.

My mates got home 4 hours later and suffered a torrent of abuse from wembley to London bridge

[tbtstt]

Very cool! As said, a bit more history for the car (because it hasn't got enough ) and sounds like you had a good day out as well.

Oh, and great photos too!

[SUBARMAN]

Great photo of two stunning cars at a special place (even though shut)!!



:SUBARMAN:

[Kerstin]

Stunning pics, Steve. And, as I said on the WOC already, a well deserved event for a fantastic car. Well chuffed for you, Martyn.
