corozin 0 Posted October 4, 2004 Granada TV are looking for a Corrado + owner to film and interview for a Programme on Granada Men & Motors called "100 Most Popular Cars" They are looking for a proud owner who is willing to drive their car to the Granada studio in Manchester and then be filmed doing a quick interview about their car. The questions will not be taxing or too technical - they are interested in personal stories about the car and someone who can give some insight into why they believe the car should be in the top 100. They anticipate the interview taking around about an hour (weather and technical problems allowing). Ideally they are looking for a standard car (or at least standard looking). There will be no road/track tests required, just an interview + some stationary shots of the car inside & out so there should be no insurance issues. At no point will anyone either than the owner have to drive the car. Some contribution towards petrol expenses will be available, but if possible they'd prefer someone within shooting distance of Manchester in case bad weather etc changes the plans at the last minute, Unfortunately they would like to do the filming THIS WEEK, probably one day Wednesday-Friday. If you are willing to be interviewed about your car & why you think it's one of the all time greats then please email Kevin Forde at the email address below. Contact : mailto:[email protected] Cheers John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlackberryVR6 0 Posted October 4, 2004 I'm in Manchester, have a standard corrado in good nick and am always happy to talk of the virtues of the C, which is certainly one of the top 100 cars ever built. I can't do this week though: I'm off training for a race on the weekend (not in the C!). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
