I saw Eric Bana's film "Love the Beast" last week. I wasn't expecting a lot but I have to say it was an extremely entertaining film. Great footage of the Targa Tasmania including a couple of Alfas. I'm a sucker for other people's nostalgia, so the footage of Bana restoring the car the first time around and his Dad's T-bird were very entertaining.
I'm not sure how it'll go in the global market, but I think it'll have pretty good appeal in the 'top gear' car enthusiast market. Loved Clarkson: "600Hp... leaf springs?".
If I had ridiculous amounts of money, I would also make a feature length documentary about my car. Evan Bottcher presents an Evan Bottcher film... "Love the Madame". :D
Anyone else see it?
You could make one about your 105 project. It would be like that "seven up" project, where they interview people every seven years. I think they're up to about 49 years.
On the film, yeah I loved it. But they are pitching it as a film about having a passion in life and non car nuts will enjoy it too, I am not so sure about that. It certainly is more enjoyable as a car person. I liked the Leno quote in the outakes (I wont put it here as a spoiler!!).
It made me very jealous of Colin, just about to head off and do Targa again.

Only problem there is there wouldn't be much to report on after seven years ;)
Uummm, I have taken the window winder off. But look at the 164 I just bought!!
Smart-arses :'(

Gotta say i liked it. Great Targa shots. Does anyone know what the car was crashed further down the hill to the XB coupe? Looked GTV ish
Not so sure i agree with the comment about Alfa Romeos ability to pick up chics, why are there so many Italians?
