beesboybert Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) BOMBER, BOMBER, BOMBER..... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> BANG BANG BANG Excellent nights entertainment from Bomber, can't really say much that hasn't been said, one of the highlights for me was seeing just how worked up SCB was! Especially as at one point he wanted us all to get naked and join him in celebrating the victory! Edited July 2, 2007 by beesboybert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dj350z Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) Watched it on DVD last night again! Does anyone know if the DVD available by pre-order from Speedwayworld.tv will be the coverage from Sky? I assume it will be.

Dave the Mic Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Finally got round to adding my congratulations to Chris Harris In all my years of watching speedway I wonder if it can actualy get much better than this. The atmosphere was electric and with a last heat, last bend Brit winner Quote of the day from a lady sat behind me with a soft Edinburgh accent talking about Chris Harris after the final race At the start of the race I would have given him one in four After the first bend I would have given in one in twenty At the finish I would have given him one <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Post of the decade. Fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it will be. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's not - hence why many people like me will have both on DVD. The official DVD shows some great insights into the event (will the boxset did) and different camera angles and replays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Does anyone know if the DVD available by pre-order from Speedwayworld.tv will be the coverage from Sky? I assume it will be. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Almost certainly not. It was probably be an "official" one. I have a copy of the official DVD of the 2005 Cardiff GP. You will get the same pictures from the racing and the "official" interviews that are shown on the screen in the stadium. Based on what I have from 2005, you probably won't get the Greening stuff or the in-studio chat with Loram, Hamill and Ermolenko, but their own seperate interviews. You'll also get different commentry. The 2005 one has Dave Lanning and Kelvin Tatum and sounds very much as if it has been added later and lacks something because of it. Personally I think the Sky coverage is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesboybert Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 On a side note, What a great piece of symmetry for Axeman, 10 years ago it was him standing on top of the Podium, and 10 years on it is his protege Bomber winning the British G.P. Such a shame that his career was ended prematurely, but great to see him still amongst the top in his field! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BjarneRubble Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 What what what ?? Women, orgasms ??? - when did this start happening then ?? I just cant keep up with modern times - I blame the termination of rationing, - women wouldnt have orgasms if we still had powdered egg !! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I reckon it's something to do with global warming myself! My missus goes like a steam train when it's above 80 deg. farenheit, and by God it was hot in the stadium on Saturday night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian rarely gets mentioned and he clearly does so much for Bomber - he looked so so happy when Bomber crossed the line. Haven't commented yet but I'm pretty sure that anything I'd have to say has already been said but Chris Harris Take a bow son! Absolutely superb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the (superb) annual box set contained all the same logos and graphics. Edited July 2, 2007 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyke Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 What a fantastic win . Took four mates (well blokes in there 40's) who had never been to speedway before ,they loved it. Best bit was my mate after bomber has gone thru the semi tring to high five everyone around us, was a little peeved that these polish blokes by us wouldnt ??? I was Peeing myself and had to tell him that he'd just knocked Hampel their favourite out !!!! Priceless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sancho Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Fantastic last time I was dancing in the aisle at speedway was Wembley 1972 (I was only 10 and Ivan Mauger was my hero) now 45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmiller Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Found this on the Daily Express Online: http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/12011/...in+a+Millennium The headline 'Hero Harris: One in a Millenium' made me smile but its just a shame they didnt have a picture of our hero! As one of those who doubted him in 2005, well I was wrong (and how!!) and I hope he goes from strength to strength. The way many Poles were chanting his name on leaving the stadium suggests his fan base isnt just in Britain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santyboy Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 First Cardiff GP i've missed in 5 years, inconsiderate friend of mine got married on Saturday and I coudn't go. I was absolutely overjoyed when I heard the result and also absolutely gutted that I couldn't be there. Its been a real privilege watching Chris at Brandon every week, usually worth the admission fee on his own. I managed to find the final heat on Youtube at the hotel receptions computer and got a crowd of fellow wedding guests watching it. Well done Bomber and let's hope this gives British Speedway a much needed boost. I'll be emailing my un-hitched friends the date of next years British GP and kindly ask them to use an alternative date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santyboy Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'd have been at Cardiff to be honest. Sport > Weddings. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was a diificult decision but my better half was chief bridesmaid so it swayed the decision that way. Not so sure i'll be so understanding in the future though.
