Must be time to watch Bullitt again I think, Mags.

Never seen it. But 73 was a good year for the Chevy Nova.

Novas were okay but if you wanted a muscle car...GTO!

And you wanted a real muscle machine...The Judge!

Interesting. One of my favorite modern car chases is the Jason Bourne one in Paris.

Not so long ago, the whole subject of Rabbit Vibrators and their therapeutic [?] effect/s would have been limited to the pages of a narrow-circulation 'medical' journal. Now we get it [almost] in our faces, so to speak.
Is this a good thing, as it were ?

I always wanted an Isetta.

I once travelled home (a distance of about 50 miles, in Hampshire) in the pouring rain, driven by a pal of mine (I can promise he was driving with much care), in the dark. (it really was a "dark & stormy night")
The windscreen wiper motor (mounted at the inside top of the screen) fell off, putting hot grease all over my best jeans and shoes. I had to operate the crank by hand so my pal could see the road.
It took us a little while to get back but we made it. He reckoned that he found the screws in the footwell the following day.

Oh Mags, if you have never seen Bullitt, do please make the time to watch it.
The sound track is brilliant (Lalo Schiffrin), the acting damned good
(Steve McQueen & Jackie Bissett) and the car chase is the standard by which all those following are/were compared.

... and the car chase is the standard by which all those following are/were compared.

And, apparently, that's Mr McQueen doing his own driving. The then Mrs McQueen asked the director to get a stunt driver, but Steve wasn't having any of it.

Didn't he drive for real in "Le Mons" ?

Yes, he did. James Garner drove and did a few of the stunts himself in Grand Prix also.

car chases...

car chases...

Jim Clarke, one of motor racings best ever drivers, always put his occupation as "farmer", and he would drive his road car (a Lotus, as I recall), round the highways & bye-ways of Scotland at terrifying speeds. The local Police never ever booked him for speeding; they were too busy learning how to do it from a Master.

So, Jim took the high road while the cops took the low road...?

Well, not quite:
But THIS is worth reading.
I was in Germany at the time of his death.

..and if he had driven in the BOAC 1000 km sportscar race at Brands Hatch, he might not have been killed in Germany.

Another fascinating fact from wiki: his brake pads lasted 3 times as long as any other driver. He didn't 'punish' his cars.
