avivalasvegas Posted February 19, 2021 Report Posted February 19, 2021 Greetings all, I was really hoping to get your thoughts on a Classic Car show our motley little crew produced. It's called New vs. Old and we managed to film 3 episodes before lockdown. Before anyone asks, yes a GT6 will be featured in an upcoming episode. I was hoping to gather feedback from this friendly group so if you could share: A sentence describing what you liked (if any) and a sentence about what you disliked (if any). Please know we are not sponsored and lack a "Top Gear" production budget but will do our best to incorporate feedback where possible. Thanks in advance! 1
Pete Lewis Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 it does make a refreshing change to see an and hear actual peoples feed back when driving ,no tyre smoking tear arsing stupid car stuff really its what you want from a car review programme no boy racer how fast can you go tyre smoking daft driving just decent wholesome experiences I rate it as brilliant just await some Triumphs and more Peoples cars from Rootes Rover BMC etc none are boring marques but good bread and butter reality Pete 1
Rijidij Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Good work. I'm looking forward to the GT6 episode. 😉 1
Chris A Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 Definitely makes a change, for the better, from lots of others. Simple and straight forward, the sort of chat that would happen at any meeting of old car owners. Well done. I would willingly watch more of them. 1

It's called New vs. Old and we managed to film 3 episodes before lockdown. Always glad to see another classic show so well done - there was some old duffer wrote into the paper during the week complaining that he has to sit through endless antique, house buying and classic car shows on daytime TV... and I thought: great! Only one criticism, though - why (and a few Classic magazines have done it too) must we always compare the MG, or the Spitfire, or any car from the 60s and 70s with a modern Mazda MX5? I know it's New Vs Old but there's no possible comparison other than a two seater sportscar. Styling, engineering and handling are all worlds apart and sometimes I feel that it just makes our cars look dated and inferior. It seems to me like trying to give the MX5 a retrospective classic status; the best little car of the sixties... except it only appeared thirty years later, and unlike cars like the Figaro it's not trying for the 60s retro look. However - that's only my opinion, as a humble critic of something worthy! More, please. 1
avivalasvegas Posted February 20, 2021 Author Report Posted February 20, 2021 Thanks for the kind words! If you liked it, I hope you won't mind a humble request to subscribe and share with any relevant communities out there. Every little bit of it helps. Good comment on the Miata Colin, and we originally had the Fiat 124 spyder (new version) booked in. But the company cancelled the car the month before filming. Yes, its a reskinned Miata aka Fiata but it was slim pickings when it comes to equivalents leaving us with no other modern option.
poppyman Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 A refreshing new program, although i would prefer a look or repair of the oily bits as well A shame Quentin Wilson rears his head..... Overall it is very watchable. One thing i did like was when two people were in the open cars they weren't shouting at each other, you must have a good sound engineer or it was dubbed in after. I like it. Tony. 1
DVD3500 Posted February 20, 2021 Report Posted February 20, 2021 My word you got classic car "royalty" on there! Very good! I am very much over drifting, donuts and even stupidly loud engines.... Noise is a for of lost of energy... besides, grannies can do donuts: https://youtu.be/3F3VpsDl_3w?t=59 1
avivalasvegas Posted February 20, 2021 Author Report Posted February 20, 2021 Every single one of our guests have been incredibly generous with their time. Wonderful human beings in real life!
DVD3500 Posted February 21, 2021 Report Posted February 21, 2021 That's good to hear. The most famous type of person I have met were race drivers and frankly, with the exception of Jules Guinon, Sophia Flörsch (boy did I feel lecherous talking to her...) and the Halder sublings they have all been jerks.

avivalasvegas Posted June 9, 2021 Author Report Posted June 9, 2021 Just a heads up - GT6 episode will air on YouTube tomorrow. I'll be sure to post the link. Your support is always appreciated. 1

It will feature on the same channel (clicking New vs. Old should show you the new episode after it debuts). For anyone wondering, the episode will feature a certain well known TSSC Forum Member. I'm not going to ruin the surprise just yet 2 hours ago, ed.h said: Oh! Oh! Do a TR6! Do a TR6! If we manage to secure donations/ contributions via the links in the description, I believe a TR5 is definitely planned to take on an E type. Or a Jensen CV8.
avivalasvegas Posted June 10, 2021 Author Report Posted June 10, 2021 Episode is live! Enjoy our surprise guest
Colin Lindsay Posted June 10, 2021 Report Posted June 10, 2021 That'll take a coffee later on... looks good so far, tho.

Nigel Clark Posted June 10, 2021 Report Posted June 10, 2021 Well done to Aviv, Martin and the team, great to finally see this episode. Sadly, my career as a film star is probably over before it even started! Nigel 1

Badwolf Posted June 10, 2021 Report Posted June 10, 2021 Overdub the dialogue, add background effects, re-edit, simples. 80% of movie sound used to be overdubbed due to tech issues. Don't know about these days.

avivalasvegas Posted June 10, 2021 Author Report Posted June 10, 2021 Sadly Nigels mic malfunctioned mid filming. That said, everybody’s a critic!
