Was cooler than any of us. He raced his hotted up mini cooper with Steve McQueen (who also had one) during the filming of The Great Escape, and they shipped them back to the States and kept having fun with them as some of the first to cross the pond. Even at 84, he regretted selling his. A real car guy and actor who we should all remember long into the future.

Another car driven by an amazing actor, man, and car guy.

My dad saw Newman racing his Datsun at Summit Point after seeing a Mini Cooper cup race. He went in his friend's $2,000 E-type with an engine rebuilt in the basement that he was running on jet fuel, lol

He was the original Maverick too.

It's a show worth checking out.
