I think everyone has their favorite movie series. I for one have many. Star Wars (Legacy Trilogy... eff Jar Jar), Aliens (the second one is the best), Terminator (The first two), Back to the Future (Pretty much a gradual decline from the first one, but all in all a must watch back to back to back).

And then there is Mad Max. I have been minorly obsessed with it since I saw it as a teen, and recently the new movie came out. It didn’t stink like the PG13 pig shit that was Beyond Thunderdome but it still does not hold a candle to the #1 of the franchise... The Road Warrior... AKA Mad Max 2. It is rare when a sequel surpasses the original, usually they leave you wanting.

The car is a big deal. Huge. The Ford Falcon XB. I’ve always wanted one, and that is all it will be. Just with the DeLorean it seems out of grasp eternal. Not shiny and not very chrome. MEDIOCRE!

But, having friends helps. Having friends with the same mindset helps more. And having that one friend that could. Well... That is what dreams are made of. And then... stuff like this happens in front of my camera:

I have hung out with him in the past. Got to vlog in the passenger seat. I am still trying to get him to let me drive and review it. That will be a work in progress. I hope to have many more encounters with the car. And I doubt that will be a problem. Because the owner and I? Friends... What a wonderful thing that is, the car community!

If Le Mans counts as a sequel to Grand Prix then that’s my favourite movie series.
