There was an English film shot in the 1970's which featured a chase scene comprising of a a white 2 door Range Rover with blacked out windows chasing and generally terrorising another car (possibly a Jaguar), chasing it around the countryside, smashing through green houses and driving through rivers.
My Dad had a 2 door Rangie at the time.
I thought it was the coolest car ever!
(i dont know the name of the film but it's probebly a stinker)
Thus began my love affair with the green oval.

Wasn't that Calum with Edward Woodward.  If I remember rightly he was terrorisong a bad guy by constantly driving cross country to get in front of him.

Of course nowaday they'd have four or five cars and just park them in the way!

Just watched the car chase from Bullitt, I think that the "Fastest car in the movies" should go to the green Volkswagen Beetle that gets overtaken four times he must be blooming quick to get round the block before the Charger and the Mustang come round again :lol:  :lol:

Ahh the weiand supercharger, 6-71 (?) of boost, great bit of kit, had one back home, but never got around to using it, some of my friends had them on their cars, and as said the engine needs to be totally rebuilt to handle them, they put massive force on the bigends, they also have a habbit of stripping the stiuds holding them on, and if you have ever seen one come loose you understand why they have straps over them to keep them from flying, i thinik it actually part of the MOT/law in NZ that you have tohave them strapped,
A friend of mine built a hot rod back home, a ford pop, and he decided to use it for pro street drag racing, he had a super charger with NOS aswell, damn did this thing fly on the street aswell as the strip, only problem was fuel consumption, when it was built, the damn thing wouldnt start, it had two 1" fuel lines with two mallory blue pumps on each line, got it into a drag racing workshop, they tinkerd and came to the conclusion that it wasnt getting enough fuel, demonstrated by pouring aviation fuel straight into the buisness end, and it started fine, he ended up with two 3 inch fuel lines and three pumps per line  :O

It ran low 11 secs on the drag strip on street tyres, last time i saw it befor i left NZ he had got a set a hozziers on it in an attempt to get better traction.

But man this thing was a rush to ride in, when the NOS kicked in, you new you were moving.. and the sound of the engine, small block V8 through straight headers........

Having just seen it again recently, the Batmobile from Batman Begins is pretty cool, if a tad implausible  :D But I wouldn't say no to one in my drive  :lol:

Yes, especially as the Yank special-effects/custom-manufacturers said it couldn't  be done, but the Brits sorted it out :wink:

Have you seen the 'Batman Begins' DVD with the extras showing the car being tested?
Also, the sound of the Super Swampers as they 'skitter around' on that wooden floor in the gym :D

Of course, Katie Holmes is a bonus in that film... especially near the end when it was obviously, err, very cold  :shock:

I still reckon the V8 Interceptor was the best all time movie vehicle around...

Or perhaps you could just look at some of the other cars in the Mad Max movies.

But what do I know, I'm bias because I'm an Aussie. :D

The 77 model in the first film was pretty cool, but the 79 in the 2nd was dire. They look awful (front) in comparison

That particular one has a GM Ecotec 3.2 V6 installed FOC after Tower Chrysler blew the original up.

PRV 2.6 V6 is underpowered for something that weighs in about the same as a large family saloon and roumour has it that they chose 88.8Mph as on a standard one its not an acheivable speed. Handling bites, gearbox was like stirring a bucket of bricks, I could go on...

But the trans-am was still a cool car nonetheless.

Funny I remember having a very similar chat with strange bloke at billings who could not get his generator to run!

And whose gazebo attempted lift off when the storm came!

You know, I had almost forgotten about that Gazebo. Bunnie still hasnt spotted that I'm reluctant to take that Gazebo camping again, that experience kinda put me off it.

Those beauts look far too good to be used in a film like that!


Returning to my opening suggestion (& the film in question)

How about;
The '49 Mercury 'lead-sled used by The Pharoahs? (later owned by Brian Setzer)

Or;
The 78 FireBird in 'Hooper', & the climactic scene at the end
Where Reynolds & Jan-MIcheal Vincent jump over the gorge?

Pasted & Copied (bold type  is my addition :wink: )

If you are an aficionado of Sixties TV or remember it as more than just a summer of love, then the opening scene of the cult TV series ‘The Prisoner’ with Patrick McGoohan speeding through deserted London streets in his iconic Lotus Seven is firmly fixed in the mind. The Seven was chosen to fit the personality of the character as something out of the ordinary and individual that would make him stand out from the crowd; quick, agile and independent, it was a statement of freewill. And so it has remained over the 45 years of the car’s production: a unique and personal driving experience that is now set to become even better.

Caterham took over production from Lotus in 1973[/i]

Isn't it on a 'C' plate as well by the look of it??
Apparenlty MgHoohan went to Lotus himself for the car, IIRC it was featured in Dangerman? the forunner to the prisoner, don't know as I've never seen it, but anyway, Lotus offered him the Europa, or was it the thing they had in the Avangers? anyway, He saw the 7 and decided that was the car so he bought it.

Film version of Callum, starring Edward Woodward.  Spin off from a TV series I think.
