I think he owns a griso ans an california vintage. I watched it last night and enjoyed it,even a few shots of ewan riding his griso, amazing to see the logistics involved to get them and the film crew there. And topgear is on just before it as well thats my sunday nights taken care of for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldini Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Priceless advertising for Guzzi - better than anything they manage in the press etc - Griso looked, sounded, great. KB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jihem Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 There is a visit to the Guzzi factory coming up Ewan seems to be really hooked up on Guzzis. I wonder if he'll do the next round of trips on a Stelvio... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jihem Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Clip of the day today is their visit to the MG factory (an excerpt from the visit shown on tv tonight). Mc Gregor was totally thrilled, extatic and excited like a kid while visiting the museum and the factory. Even had a blast on a 1200 Sport at the 420 m long factory test circuit.

Guzzista_Joe Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 He's a good egg Ewan, has been into Guzzis for years, way before he was famous. He's been known to help small racing teams with sponsorship n stuff...there you go Gyles...and has been known to buy bikes off e-bay to do up, it's how he relaxes apparently. This, I hear is...or was...his: last night's episode was excellent, what a great advert for the factory! It was his idea to go there, I get the feeling that if it were up to him, and had it been ready in time, they would have used Stelvios...now that woulda been something! Incidentally, before you watch Long way down on Sundays, watch Top Gear, it's one of the funniest programs on telly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScuRoo Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Nice to finally see the V11 afforded its worthy presence in Guzzi history… 👍😎 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Stroke-Racing Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Looks like Mr. McGregor is back in the V11 owners club, if the Tenni in the clip is from his personal collection. As his old #133 is still in Austin/TX documented in the registry, i guess he was lucky to find somebody willing to part from his piece of guzzi history. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
