McQueen - LeMans : 25 Years Later
Not sure if I've seen this before. If so, I forgot. Article originally published in Pano. Good read.

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
I heard Ford has re-animated McQueen for their new 2005 Mustang ads. Those retro ads are cool and make even an old Tivo user like me, pause and enjoy them. |

I have heard that the commercial will be like "Field of Dreams" Some old fella is going to make a twisty race track in a corn field and then McQueen is going to come walking out of the corn and drive off in the new mustang. I want to see this one.

You can't get much cooler than being an actor or driving a race car.
McQueen was both.

I'm not here.

"Racing is life, what happens before and after is just...waiting."
I think that's the line. One of the only speaking parts in the movie. Great quote none the less.
