everyone here seems to mention the remake movies like "gone in Sixty seconds " etc and Bullet,but what about those really great movies (those NOT made in the US ) that revolved around cars.....such as Go Trabbi Go or the absolute classic.. 8-)Goodbye Pork pie....   www.geocities.com/dagsyfm/porkpie.htm |

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.

has anyone seen the original gumbal rally? Its the one with the ferrari and the AC cobra, and the frech guy on the 2 stroke motorbike who goes crazy? Some very good footage in that and all done for real no speeding up. One bit where the police helicopter is chasing the ferrari down a long straight road, and the the ferrari hammers the throttle and leaves the helicopter standing, excellent!

Tricked-out Purple Capri in Bad Taste (some random director...dunno if anyone's heard of his newer films  ) along with a moggy and a well-sorted Anglebox van with interesting false-driver (The Beatles in Sgt. Peppers' get up) and high-roof. "Eat my spinning steel, shithead!" *n |

Top grammar tips!

I quite like some of those bizzarre french films from the seventies.... oh and the ones with cars in too 'Trafic' springs to mind. 1971 Jacques Tati comedy film and it features 70 minutes of french cars! Pure bliss. 'Le Weekend ' by Jean Luc Goddard is also worth watching but a lot deeper. Again full of french cars, mostly crashed. Additionally I'd watch any Godzilla Japanese film from the early seventies purely for the sight of acres of j-car material. I also have a thing for 'Taxi' too...but thats not strictly retro..... |
