The ruined furniture [Kinda Spoiler About 10x01]

ahpadt · October 8th, 2007, 01:12 AM

First of all: This isnt ment to be a spoiler thread.

Anyway, whos up for getting TG some new seats?

A Vauxhall/Opel Senator shouldnt be too pricey - I just checked the price in Norway and its already a bargain, so it should be really cheap in the more southern parts of Europe (germany, netherlands, england etc).
If we are really lucky, we could find one at the scrapper with the seats still there.

This would obviously require quite a bit of donations, but we should really start with the easy bit: Is anyone interested?

Discuss.

Fifth Gear burned the warehouse hahaha

We want them to look good, not cheap, and I'm not sure if it would even work out.

There's a couple on there that people are breaking up, No prices as such but hey, it's a start.
I'm all for it, lol.

Those ones advertised on there are a month old or so, but I don't suppose there's a huge rush for Vauxhall senator parts these days.

Especially when you talk about the seats. Though now that people know where the seats came from they'll bound to become collectors items.

I quite like their new furniture, it's classy and comfy at the same time. It makes the news scenery more like just 3 blokes talking to each other and having a good time.

wooflepoof · October 8th, 2007, 08:11 AM

no, why? they get the largest budget for any show the bbc produces iirc. I think they'll be fine unless they have the same chairs next season or they all hurt their legs in some rocket car accident i don't think it'd be that necessary.

Deanodriver · October 8th, 2007, 08:42 AM

You know, I quite like the new chairs, and as said, James looks right at home.

Then again, I wonder if they could find out who's got those Porsche 928 seats. images/smilies/tongue.gif

SL65 · October 8th, 2007, 08:58 AM

YES! Get the new seats! Top Gear isn't the same without them!!

// did the dog go with the fire as well?? I didn't see it this ep images/smilies/unsure.gif

Vette Boss · October 8th, 2007, 09:22 AM

New seats are actually nice. They make the stage look more British. images/smilies/happy.gif

I'm just worried that I posted in a furniture topic...

Frederic · October 8th, 2007, 11:03 AM

If they wanted new Senator seats they would probably have bought them images/smilies/smile.gif

So no point in buying them for them, it's not like they lack money, the BBC images/smilies/wink.gif

Bundesautobahn · October 8th, 2007, 12:04 PM

No! I want the Senator seats back! images/smilies/blowup.gif

That bit about James was correct though. images/smilies/tongue.gif

anti-net · October 8th, 2007, 12:37 PM

I quite like the change, tho they have to rebuild the cool wall, it just isn't the same without it.

ahpadt · October 8th, 2007, 12:50 PM

It was just ment for checking the interest anyway. images/smilies/smile.gif

ed1911n · October 8th, 2007, 01:02 PM

Theyre filthy rich. If they want new seats, they'll get new seats. Right now, theyre just using the fire and the "jamesey" furniture as another entertaining little gag.

MattD1zzl3 · October 8th, 2007, 02:31 PM

I think they spend the large budget as fast as they get it however, with trips to italy in expensive supercars (which they probably had to rent) that get 9MPG.

Buying a ruined (Crashed?) car shouldnt be too bad, and make final gear "That site that gets together and sends gifts to top gear" images/smilies/smile.gif

EDIT: Durr!

It's all part of the 'set' - the new retro seats are supposed to be that way and I bet they stay that way for the rest of the series.

If they wanted to replace the TV - for example - a new 42" pro plasma is less than £1000 - small change in their budget.
