I watched "The Hunter" last week, not his best work but his last. You could tell he was real sick.
Also starred a young LeVar Burton.

Too bad you missed it. Pics of the event on the Bullitt board. Porsches, Jags, and (of course) Mustangs were present. Good time seems to have been had by all present. I'd post a link, but it might upset some who post here...

I didn't miss the screening, it hasn't happened yet. I'll be out of town or I'd be there. (Nov. 11th).

Sorry, I meant the Nov. 7th car guy gathering, the "tribute parade", the dedication of Steve McQueen square. Chad McQueen was there in his badass '68 Mustang..along with other marques.

What the hell, if I anger some folks here, so be it...here's a link & pics of the event, taken by a Mustang guy...there is Porsche content in the pics.

His 1940 Indian Scout was auctioned at the 2008 Legend of the Motorcycle Concours. Got a couple pics of it...
