Haha - top stuff!

I bought that on DVD last week - I hadn't seen it since 1988 or so. Jack Burton still rocks as a suburban hero.

My brother and I used to watch it at least twice a week - in fact, I think it was the first movie we 'pirated' with mum's VCR and granny's VCR and some stolen BNC cables. Ah - memories.

You leave JACK BURTON alone!!!

similar story with me and my bro, we used to watch BTinLC and TOP GUN nearly every day after high school back in the late 80's :D

Everytime we see each other we are qouting something outta these flicks like "i'm not leaving my wingman" "you can be my wingman anytime" "you know what old Jack Burton used to say at a time like this..." etc hilarious ;)

Also like just about all Bruce Lee movies but watch them more for his Martial Art skills - some of the plots are pretty ordinary... have Enter the Dragon and some others on DVD.

Hey James,

Gerald has em at the mo but I need to get em back so I can reminise the wonderful memories.

"You are gonna take the shortcut to the Interstate ain't ya"

"If you're gonna be a bear....be a GRIZZLY (or in his case grisleah)!!!" as the GMC truck suddenly leaves the road and heads into the forest after leaving the start line.

Fear of a Black Hat  

CB4

These are two of my favourite flicks as well, also "the Great White Hype" is good too, "You aint my daddy...are you?"

One Flew of the coockoo's Nest is great value, also i cant believe noone here has mentioned Gumball Rally... "Honk if your Horny!!" ... or American Graffiti, some old school cool Yank movies with car themes.

At the other end of the spectrum is a DVD i got from Xmas from a relative that knows i like cars, its called RPM, the only reason it didnt get turned off is because i lived in hope there would be some car fottage worth watching... i was wrong.

No Particular order....

Apocalypse Now - I love the smell of Napalm in the morning

Swingers - You're so money and you don't even know it

Do the Right thing - and all Spike Lee Films

Shawshank - some birds you just can't cage

The Godfather - all of them

All Aussie Flicks - 'cause we gotta support them!

Dad used to have a video shop so it could take me weeks to think about this but I'll give it a go:

1. The Matrix (by far and away the best of the 3)

2. Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels (pisser!)

3. Stand By Me ("Why did you bring a comb? You dont even have hair!")

4. History of the World Part I/Blazing Saddles (I love Mel Brooks)

5. Terminator/Predator (My fav Arnie flicks)

6. son of rajab of the Ring Trilogy (I know its 5 fav movies but certainly worthy of a mention)

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
