289 on tv

Post by simonjrwinter »

I recently fast forward through what was possibly the worst programme I had ever seen. However it did feature an interesting car in it...a HANK 289 !

Yes, very rare......it’s a 289 FIA pronounced on the programme...”fear”

Oh, and for anyone looking for the programme......please don’t.....it’s shockingly awful and embarrassing in the extreme.

Yet another cheap TV programme to add to the thousands of other garbage productions on air. It's a crime such a nice car had to be featured in such a bad crapumnetary. The producers should be ashamed.

Was the "HANK" chassis produced by the legendary Gerry Hankridge by any chance?

This was the car owned by ex-member Marcus Price and was known as the "Yellow Peril" (owing to its colour at the time). It had a very interesting build spec, which Gerry Hawkridge could tell us more about. It's clearly changed hands a number of times over the past few years. I hope it's finally gone to a real enthusiast, but somehow, I doubt it.

...and now, back to watching The Only Way Is Essex.

Worst programme ever? 🤔
You've clearly never seen "Just Tattoo of us"!💩

I so nearly bought that car, but the spec was quite extreme for road use, specifically my Mum on the road use! 😆

Hilariously bad.....in fact I was expecting a Great White from Sharknado to pop up.
Everything about it is so obviously staged, but I liked the bit where Mr Sartorial Elegance wanted a kiss as a down payment on the 'dinner date'.
