Another BBC Schmitt Based Clip!!
« on: January 25, 2012, 08:05:28 PM »
Another Clip from the good old BBC! but this one is a bit special. It is what started yours truelys interest in all things micro and specifically schmitts whilst I was still in single figures (that and a chance meeting with a schmitt during a holiday at the ripe old age of 7!!) The interesting bit begins at 2.15 and lasts about a minutes;

Very nice clip

Lesley Ash was on TV this morning and they showed a clip from  Quadraphinia - There in the background (behind Sting) a yellow Schmitt.

Oh, I thought I posted that a little while back, I must have forgot! I know I put it on my facebook gorup, thats way I'm probably thinking of.

Have a guess who's TG it was. Guess who's driving. Guess who had to put a plaster over his 'tache, and put a blonde wig on.

Shame we sold the car... It was my dads fave TG. His current TG will be the same colour.


By the way, earlier in the show there is a 175 in the barn (was also my dads, he jsut bolted 4 fibreglass TG wings on since the miovie wanted the car to be restored in the film)

Funny enough I saw a schmitt on ITV4 tonight, its was in an old episode of Born and breed. A nice deep red/maroon one parked up as a couple of characters were having a picnic. Anyone else see it?

It was great fun doing that episode with the Birds of a feather crew. It was 1990. They wanted Tracy to drive my TG, but I said no way. The only other option was for me to put a blonde wig on, a plaster over my moustache, and wear her coat. I felt a wally, but at £850 a day I'll dress up in anything. The TG I have now will loook exactly the same when finished I hope, as I loved that car.

Your TG does look very nice and that colour suits a TG. My other favourite colour on a TG is canary yellow. It is funny how different colours suit different cars. Yup, I too would drag up for such a booking.

Which is worse. A KR175 with four Tiger wings on or having your moustache taped over? Sort of things they get up to in Essex, though, I guess. Of course Groucho did the opposite and Red Bull wasn't invented so wings were not an option unless you were Harpo who was the 175 of the Four Marks brothers.

Can I just say I have been edited out of both BBC and ITV films and ended up on the floor. I claim my Oscar as best non supporting prop.

I was edited out of demonstrating my timpani when they were featured on Tomorrow's World.
Can't blame them really!

I was recorded vocally for TV, b ut they cut me off... I was used as a translator on the news (bubble car thing). I have a few DVD's, containing the original, the one with me translating, and a few "behibd the scenes"
