Very sad, I love that film. Yes I know it wasn't perfect, what film is?.
Watched it a million times when I was young and getting into Musclecars (ask Nigel) and when I retire I'll probably watch it anther million times. You either get it or you don't. The remakes are just tosh.
Cheers, Martin

Yeah, Martin & I watched this soooo many times & it seemed that there was always something else in it that I missed the first time I watched it. At one point Martin turned to the very dark side & owned a Challenger for a while :lol: :lol:

cheers...Nige

Yes, it's true, but it was only for a short while. But what's really sad about my ending up with the Challenger is that I turned down a 67/68 Camaro with a big block (Albeit non-Chevy) in favour of the Challenger.... :lol: Ahh, the things we do when we're young.......
Cheers, Martin
