My reasons for posting this?

There are 6.9 of them unless you are familiar with this brilliant piece of cinematic art.

Oh and a Youtube interview and drive....


Why it's great: Claude Lelouche's 1976 film is just about everything you could want in a car film. There's a mysterious male protagonist who never even talks once, gets the girl at the end, and spends the entire time in between scaring the #### out of Parisian pedestrians and commuter vans.

Enjoy,

Tony

Well Tony, you never got many takers for this, did you ? Yet, there is some absolutely fascinating reading on this webpage. Unfortunately, it sort of disappeared down the gurgler. I came across it during my attempts to sort out the various mumbo-jumbo posts and threads that have become somewhat of a 'trademark' (?) of TK. That situation should soon be a thing of the past. Hasten slowly. Regards Styria

I wish I could speak French and understand what they're saying... I'm sure it'd be facinating!!! BTW I knew much of this info, but it's always fun to watch again!!! :D Thanks Tony; not sure how I missed it the first time...

I suspect that most of you already read Jalopnik and had seen it.

As Jalops is an Auto "Blog" style Ezine it can be a bit of a pain to navigate but their articles and reprints are usually fascinating and unpretentious.

Their other endearing property is that the links always stay alive.

Tony, back on the prowl again to get things sorted. That's part of the reason for seeing Styria so often on the forum page right now. It is some task, and I am now doing the easy bit. Regards Styria

BTW - that rocket story is remarkable.
