Well THAT was interesting. I'm sure glad you didn't let them do all that crap to your Crossfire Jim. But I did see your car in several shots at the track. Too bad they didn't select your sleeper to race against.

Must have fallen asleep when the Crossfire was on or was it in a commercial ? All I saw were cars of the last millenia. Hadn't seen two cars each in a one car destruction derby before.

I stopped watching Top Gear because those clowns just laugh as they tear up other people's cars.
What a waste of time.

Jim's Crossie did look good in that pack of real cars. But barely made up for the wasted hour.

I suspect Jim had hopes for more exposure. But sadly, the show was as bad as most of the other episodes I have briefly endured.

Thank God I didn't watch the full hour. I DVR'd it so I just kept fast forwarding till the end just in time to see Jim's car.

our Part was the last 13 minutes.
I was in 7 scenes.
first one was on the drag strip right after the yellow and blue car, in fact after that run I broke my ps hose and the Honda I ran took my place in the race vs the red corvette
on the side between the red and orange cars.
if you run slow motion you will see me on the track right after the red and yellow
thanks all for watching,
I will post some pic tomorrow,

I know ,,we JS Benz and Street Racing Made Safe were told if we can get about 25 fast cars together they would have us in the background and pick some to race them. I kinda guess we missunderstood them as we though we would have our cars on the show like seen on the show not just in a fuzzy background.
but it was a fun day and we got paid, I donated my pay,, to street racing made safe.

I suffered this fate as well, I was an extra in a Brad Pitt movie and when they saw that I looked too much like him they left my scenes on the cutting room floor. I had the last laugh, while he was filming I made out with AJ.

So, do they do street racing on that track...it looked old school for sure....and I did see your car.... Did they actually give those cars to guys that beat them?
