Cool Car Spotting - Show us your stills

A couple that live round here...

The Merc in particular is a stunner - the ultimate plutocratmobile. Unless I'm mistaken, that dashboard section is carved from a single piece of walnut. Needless to say, it looks immeasurably better in the flesh.

Shame it only comes in Biachi celeste

No
That was a '78 model (Pontiac) Trans-Am in the first film

I think the Citroen that he drove was in either 'Mean Machine', or 'Gator'


I know it's not an exciting car, but when did you last see one of these
It sometimes appears at a Health Centre not too far from where we live
It's not a Belmont, as the (earlier model) bonneted Astras were known



And, an upper-class scrapyard...............



And,Italys answer to the Dolomite Sprint

Yes it's a Citroen SM, (Maserati engine), and Burt Reynolds did indeed drive one, but the film was The Longest Yard



In Smokey and the Bandit he drove the Pontiac Trans Am

Ahh, but he also drove the Kenworth W900

This beauty, that Jerry Reed (as Snowman) drove

Reed contributed several songs to the film, including the opening one




Digressing;
- Reed wrote 'US Male' & 'Guitar Man', both of which were covered by a certain Mr Presley (he also played guitar on US Male)
- Plus, he also wrote 'A Thing Called Love', as ably sang by Johnny Cash
- He was also feted by, no less a guitar luminary than, Chet Atkins who confessed that Reeds finger-picking style amazed him

My favourite (motor)bike... View attachment 92198

Oh Yes!!! Beautiful!

 

[jonny jeez]

found a few more

I had a blue Datsun 100a, was my first car. My dad picked it up from deptford auction for £60 and we spent a summer doing it up. A great car, I sold it and made £500, which was more money than I had ever held in my hand....sniff
