Just noticed your new avatar MM.

I am currently showing the Mrs the whole Prisoner series as she fell in love with MacGoohan after watching reruns of Dangerman recently.

I visited the series location in Port Meirion about ten years ago. It was exactly the same as when it was shot thirty years before that. Got to love that last episode. Apparently the UK switchboard was jammed for hours after its screening due to irate viewers asking what the hell it all meant. None of them had twigged the answer to it all was in the title sequence from the get go.

Be seeing you,

QuoteWoa!!!!! That is pretty. Is that a Cleveland?

Yep, NASCAR block Cleveland. The only standard part is the timing cover but he repainted it...

And you have an Alfred E. Newman quote under your avatar? Gee it's pop culture central on this forum and I am living in a country that it is absent from. We designed the whole foyer entrance of a cinema here based on the hyperspace scene in Star Wars and they loved it. Turns out none of them knew the reference though because the film didn't play in China due to its Overthrowing the Empire message...

I am now going to segue this back from movies into something remotely about cars and speed... I have just acquired a copy of Vanishing Point, a cool vehicle movie across e US. I first saw it in the back of mum's Mazda 1300 when my brother took me along to see blazing saddles with his girlfriend. It was a double feature and I am sure I was sent along as some sort of juvenile chaperone.

I still remember it but a bit hazy... Looking forward to watching it.

I have also lost my copy of Rendesvous, a French short film of a single shot speed driving experience across Paris With an awesome soundtrack of a viscous engine. Dr g do you have this?

Stay on target.

Rendevous is an awesome clip. You can also see it online. We have discussed it in depth on the HAMB and dogfightmag.com

Rev;

Look for a copy of the classic "Two-Lane Blacktop". You'll enjoy it.

I have a copy of Rendezvous that I can e-mail to you-- send me a PM.

I didn't know where to make a start here. All of a sudden our thread is full of British cars, green cars, talk of Clevelands.......Mini Mokes?????

I stayed on the verandah, I didn't want to be the guy who started the fight.

Then , FMD, I appear as some sunburnt sage in a video that is pretty much big hitting legends and demi-gods of the salt.....and me... I thought that video was supposed to be for Save The Salt and that it was a bunch of people and their thoughts........they really asked the expert.....

"Hi, been here before"?...
"Nope"
"So, you're racing?"
"Nope"
"Oh, so you're on a crew?"
"Nope"
"Ok then!, we want to put you in a video with Roy Creel, Larry Volk, Nish....oh and a shot of Joe Amo's arm"

Now, that I've stopped goofing I have to say, the video made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, right from the start with the radio transmission.Thanks to all involved.
Few understand what I'm trying to do but they vastly outnumber those who understand why...................
