Chris Wilson Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 lol, yeah that is a mid engined one in the film isn't it? They do sound good Yep, very under rated car in their time. I just loved mine and restored it from a wreck to this: http://www.newbury-house.com/R5_T2 I then sold it to its original owner for enough money to buy a 5 year old MKIV TT and enough change for another one One of life's better deals, there aren't many like that come your way I don't suppose many here will remember them in their heyday as a Group B rally car? Excessive power, lots of lag and dangerous structures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Trouble is Chris many 'chavs' have them now, especially as they become more affordable and the insurance grouping isn't too bad either. Good motors though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Your linky no worky http://www.newbury-house.com/R5_T2/ Sorry, typo. Sheefa: I haven't ever, never seen a "chav" driving a 5 T1 or T2, they are still ultra rare and running costs are sickening. Old technology, but they still have a certain Gallic charm, n'est pas?

Tourniquet Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 No Man's Land has a great chase in it. Charlie Sheen and D.B Sweeney form Memphis Belle star. About the Porsche stealing car ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Not sure what variants they are driving Chris, but they're certainly Renault 5 turbos. Come pay a visit to the West Mids and you'll see what I mean! Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come pay a visit to the West Mids and you'll see what I mean! Greg They aren't Turbo 1's or 2's that's for sure!! I am talking mid engined ones, homologation specials, there's only a handful worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Here's one that never appears on these lists of films but I love the car chase in The Blues Brothers, total police car wastage, as well as shopping mall action. Love it The new Tarrantino film "Death Proof" is a bit of an homage to Car Chase movies, even though I thought it sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loks Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Death Proof = bad case of road rage Question: When the bird was on the "hood", why didn't they just stop and shoot him? Typical Tarentino movie though, which quite pleased me for the hour and a half or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had more than enough opportunities for her to get off, but then I guess that the scene would have been a lot lot shorter had she done so. Also, Tarrantino was show casing how car stunts were done before CGI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loks Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 You mean the head on crash scene was not done by CGI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 You mean the head on crash scene was not done by CGI? I was actually talking about the car chase in my original post. The cars colliding wasn't CGI apperently, however the birds being all FUBAR inside tha car obviously was due to the fact that the actors guild wouldn't much like it eh.
