BBC Corvette Filming in Amboy July

[rihwoods]

They want C3's with A/C...what is scientific about having lunch and driving 30 miles in the desert ? More to this than stated... I'm waiting on an e-mail response....

Amboy in July? Even the lizards stay away from Amboy in July

Sounds like they may have a hidden agenda...

I did a google search on the "Truth About Food Series"....and this popped up on the BBC web site:

"The BBC is conducting a ground-breaking study to see if a simple dietary change can help alleviate the symptoms of erectile dysfunction.."

I think this means I get to have an erection after they feed me lunch...what do you think ?

[Blooty]

It means you get to - or you hope to??? It still sounds v. suspicious to me...and why vintage corvettes, one might ask?? Vintage cars with vintage drivers with....dietary supplements????

(Please excuse me...I'm not taking this serious at all...)..why I joke....

Just my opinion ,but somehow they will connect this to male mid-life crisis involving the Corvette...and you may have heard about certain references of the Corvette being a "symbol" and I'm not talking cucumbers here...

Think they will portray us in a bad light...and dovetail that into their so called "The truth about food" series...

Nothing wrong with a little humor. But they should've picked a different car...such as a vintage Firebird! Like the one Burt Reynolds drove in Smokey and the Bandit!!

Blooty...they changed that link..I printed this out yesterday from the same site:



I was suspious from the begining...that's why I did a search on the "series"....
A "series" suggests several aspects...Amboy is just one....
