Don't you have a Sierra.

Off to the scrappies. Best place for old cars imo.

 

[Aaron..]

A whole episode on repairing Land Rovers?

 

[Louis]

@Chode Lint has a couple of banger cars

 

[DaveDreads]

I have a 20 year old Golf and a 20 year old Clio.
"What's it's like owning these retro classics"?
"The Clio needs a new engine and the Golf is rusting faster than I can repair it, so in short.....shite"

 

[Touring_Rob]

@leeds_182 should be able to muster up an 850 or ten.

 

[R3k1355]

I hope they get all these owners together for the show.

I'd love to see the look an owner of a 911 Turbo gives to the vaping bellpiece that owns an MX5.

 

[DaveDreads]

The Clio owner will be sat in their car because they lack the social skills to talk to people they don't know.

She didn't ask for Clio owners Dave, on the Clio forum.

Then this

...email emilyreilly@plumpictures.co.uk with a brief description of your vehicle at and put “Bangers cars” in the subject heading.

Definitely made me lol.

Are you a devoted owner of one of the following? Get in touch on "I own a s**t car @ hotmail .com"

 

[McGherkin]

I reckon they could do a whole episode on @leeds_182

Actually a whole series, they’ll finish filming his collection and all the cars they’ve filmed will be replaced, it’d be like the Forth Bridge of car shows.

 

[DaveDreads]

He sells more cars than Banger & Cash.

 

[Touring_Rob]

Except this one lol!

I read it several times looking for Clio and still missed it

Bangers cars in the subject line! All seems Legit to me, honestly what is this?

 

[Racky]

It might be legit, as if you look on that website the email is from, it says they work for bbc,itv, amazon etc

But Emily might want to give us more info. She's been here today, but no reply.

Leeds_182 might've got her all the info she was after, and now they have material for a full season of bangers haha

 

[emilyjr]

What can I say, Bangers is the working title! We're still on the hunt for a Renault Clio Williams so if anyone has one, please feel free to drop me an email.

 

[davo172]

No pics of Emily or Bangers.
I'm out!

 

[DaveL485]

Having dropped her an email, it’s 100% legit.

 

[OssPoop]

I'm sure after this thread Emily won't be allowing anyone from cliosport to be anywhere near her .

 

[Chocice]

I don't know how many people who consider their car their pride and joy will be willing to be on a show called Bangers tbh.

Seems perfectly appropriate to me.

 

[DaveDreads]

It would do, we've all seen the state of your Punto.

@emilyjr

I have emailed you earlier this week after seeing a Facebook post, along the lines of me having a Mk1 if needed.

I hope you get a better response than I did! I was in conversation with her through email, asked her to clarify a few things and never heard from her again! Quite unprofessional IMO….

Same. Was bombarding me with questions and then she just vanished.

Strange.

Probably when you told her you've had 20+ Clios, alarm bells went.

 

[McGherkin]

He saw they were looking for sierras in the initial post so he told her the story about when he had one on the lift and she hasn’t messaged back since
