Fast and Furious 6

#1 Post by Paul Castrol R »

Not to everyone's taste I'm sure but saw this film last night. Very enjoyable and notable highlights carefully spotted but were a 240/260Z and a Ford 100E.

There's a superb Jensen Interceptor driven by one of the lead actresses and the best lead car in the pre-final chase sequence (against a tank!) was the MK1 Escort Mexico.

Will have to wait for the DVD to watch it in slow mo to identify all the cars better!

I've seen it too. rubbish film, good car chases.
There is an Escort "Mexico" and the Jensen is this one: http://practicallyclassics.phpbbhosts.c ... =12&t=3865. Worth a flick through the thread if you want some details on the car :)

I'm afraid its not 'that' Jensen ;)

But I'm sure that 'that' Jensen may benefit from the film.

All the films are rubbish, it's only the car chase scenes (and girls not wearing very much) that make it worth a look. as FF6 is set in the UK there aren't very many bikinis on show so if watching people blasting around London / Madrid (and a couple of other places) with fast cars / a tank isn't your thing, save your €10.

No downloading for me, i'm off to the pics tonight- big screen, big noise, no doubt the plot'll be as uncomplicated as usual but it'll be a spectacle whatever!
