Yeah I taped Thomas Crown when it came on tv several years ago, and watched part of it. It was good. I also love the Great Esacape (have it on DVD), Bullitt (also on DVD) Sand Pebbles (DVD again) and somewhere I taped the Getaway, which was really good. I watched that one the whole way thru...I haven't finished Sand Pebbles but it's good so far...unfortunately, someone ruined it for me by telling the ending...I was not happy about that...

Hey I've got a neat pic to show u guys...you'll love this...

Alas...I owned one Porsche or another for 40 years, and not a single Steve McQueen poster in the place. Hey, I do have a framed jigsaw puzzle that I found when cleaning out my mother's old home. Only 2 pieces missing from the puzzle...Gene Autry and Champion...

Now he's a true childhood hero.

I win.

Uh...no. How many horsepower the car you drive has makes no difference whatsoever. My girlfriend's old SL-55 had 493hp so am I a better driver than McQueen? No.

C'mon, being a "better driver" has NOTHING to do with the power the car has and EVERYTHING to do with what the driver can get out of what it does have.

To parahprase? I EFFING WIN!

Branded? You're talking about Chuck Connors now. I absolutely idolized Lucas McCain in the Rifleman when I was a kid. I'd RUN home to see the reruns because they came on for awihle in L.A. at 3:30 and e got out of school at 3:10. It was a literal sprint all the way home to make it in time. No VCR's or TiVo then!

By the way, no one has mentioned Steve McQueen starring in "The Blob". They say he HATED it when people brought up that film, I wonder if that's true?

I second that. It's not how much horsepower you have, it's how you use it...

EXACTLY!

Smart young lady!

I imagine if you gave me Jack Olsen's car (not that he would) and you gave Mario Andretti -yes, even at 70+ a new.....I don't know, maybe some showroom poser of a sports car. He'd kick my azz all over the track. Now, I'd LOVE to see the greats of the racing worold made to race a group of low performanace pig sedans. THEN you'd see who the best "nuts and guts" driver was.

No! I want Jack Olsen's car! I'm almost as obsessed with it as he is!

Okay, YOU take Jack's car!

There are PLENTY of other cars on Pelican that I would give my....uh....er....precious anatomy for!

Is it SD DW's (?) silver RSR? I'd give up body parts for that car. And I can think of plenty more.

If California ever goes back to the rolling 30 year exemption? My theoretical 2.7 RS rebuild is going out the window for a 3.6 swap into my midyear car. One can only dream!
