Top Gear '95 - Jeremy Clarkson & the Ford Scorpio

Delete this is if it is inappropriate - I don’t mind.
We have got a copy of BBC's Top Gear from 1995 where a fairly young Clarkson puts the 'new Scorpio' through its paces and compares it to the Rover (they get a right slating!), Audi and Vauxhall..
Not as critical as you would expect and he actually sings the cars praises. It comes down to the look.. He has a go at Ford for that 
The car is a M reg Scorpio 24v Saloon.
We have reproduced Ford videos etc before but before I start getting these reproduced I wonder what interest would there be from this forum?

Phil,
I'd definitely be interested, especially if it was on CD. As a Mk III Scorpio owner at the time it came out I must say I hated the new look. These days, well I've seen a lot worse (including a new Rolls-Royce on the A27 the other day - yuk!). Actually, I quite like the "new" look now... just as well really.
Cheers,
Dave
ps. So will you be parked on both sides of field at the next Orpington meeting

Yep, I'd be interested in a copy. I can vaguely remember it, but would love to see it again.

if everybody downloaded bittorent we could host it and share it to everybody with broad band as a avi file. just for observation purposes only.
After all what is the internet for. My mate has a nvidia snazzy graphics card that can turn video input in to handy small good quality avi files.
DivX in other words. and yes I would love to see it that way nobody is making a physical copy of the episode.

Is this the one where he said "Meet the wide mouthed frog."?
I wonder how he would describe it now if he hadn't seen one before.

Yeah. I would be interested in that too. I've always wanted to see a tv review of the Scorpio. DVD or CD is fine with me. Not getting broadband for another month or so, so that option is out the windown for the moment.
