    Wow, I love T70's so much.

    Some months ago I was shocked by a interview with David Piper on Octane about the footage of "Le Mans".
    He said his T 70's were used to replicate the 512's and some were even destroyed while filming. That, he said, was because at the time noone wanted them even if they were for free...! Well, things certainly have changed since then...
    Money can't buy you friends, but you do get a better class of enemy.

    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    The fact that it had no livery made think of the Sbarro specials...

    They were also modified for use in George Lucas's first commercial film, THX 1138
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    HOLY CRAP!!! That's what that car was!

    The scene where the robots chase him through the tunnels always stuck with me and now I learn what the car is - cool!

    Pretty good movie btw.
