Here goes, you did ask ...
As some of you know, my car was used a few weeks ago for the filming in Leeds for the Used Car roadshow. I then contacted them again when I read that they needed a car again.
When talking to Marc Lis BA (TV Production) @ Bumper Media Ltd he explained that they needed a FRS again and was struggling to find one available. They had not contacted me as the details of my car had not been passed onto them by the Leeds office.
They explained that they needed the car dropping off at 9.00am on Wed 24th October and to be collected at 12.00 that evening. I explained that I wanted to be there with the car and that I was not happy about leaving it without being there.
To my surprise Marc handed the call over to Jason Dawe (Presenter) who listened and understood my feelings and passion for my car and then offered me a V.I.P invitation to the Used Car Awards Ceremony.
I then managed to get another V.I.P guest invite for my twin brother as company.
The day started off with valeters cleaning all the cars for the show but guess who cleaned mine?
Later in the day they requested that all cars were driven in for the rehearsals, one at a time with mine being the second one in.
The ramp was very steep and had to be modified for the FRS to go up and down at my request. (Glad I was there)
Later on at the Ceremony the filming began and first up was the Supermini category which the Audi A2 won.
2nd Category was ours - The Hot Hatch Focus RS against the Volkswagen Golf GTI and R32 and the Honda Civic Type-R
Yes, thanks to many voting the Focus RS was declared the WINNER.
When the curtain went up to reveal the FRS my car looked stunning with the lighting and atmosphere.
The other Categories went on and then to my surprise the Presenters (Jason Dawe and Penny Mallory) revealed that the overall winner of all categories went to the Focus RS and my car was back on stage for another viewing.
The filming of my car was shown to the audience and was awesome to see especially as they have added my build number to the shots. (Leeds filming - Showing on TV on the 14th November which is the last of the series)
Good news for all of us and hopfully that will retain the values even more for the FRS.
I will be adding pics daily as there are so many.
Thanks for reading and sorry it's a long story but it was amazing!
