Love the Beast
Anybody else see this Documentary by Eric Bana? Went and found a torrent of it(not available on US DVD) after watching Top Gear 14x01.
Simply amazing. It really describes the way most of us feel about our cars. And there are quite a few Porsches there too.

Eric Bana is really nice bloke. Car nut. Porsche nut. Met him several years ago at a Classic Adelaide rally event. He was competing in a 944, which he crashed out in. Took time out to speak to my son about cars, the Hulk etc. Really down to earth guy.
Watching the doco this weekend.

Saw it last week. Good flick, I could totally relate to it. I told my wife and mother to watch it if they want to understand me better.

I downloaded it and popped it on the TV this afternoon. What a great flick! I enjoyed it and more importantly, my wife loved it. She was captivated through the whole movie and ever gasped at one point. (If you've seen it, you know the scene). Highly recommended.

WOW.
It was excellent. Makes me appreciate that some of these high roller superstar actors aren't such bad folks after all. Another good one to check out is "Long Way Round" and "Long Way Down", with Ewan Mcgregor. Another "Hollywood pretty boy" who seems to use his paychecks to further the cause of being a gearhead.
