Some of us go to the movies for the great actors showing their talents, while others may say that the cars are just as important as the people. BTW, what is your favourite movie cars of all time?! :thinking:

For me, the most impressive movie cars is Duel, the mechanical hell seen by Steven Spielberg. If I was only this crazy, functional and ugly truck? or just a basic four strokes engine? This James Bond car is a Lotus Esprit. Most of the capture pics come from the site ImageCarMovieDataBase, where guys are still more crazy than me.

The driver totally drunk is turning around the square all open doors!

Arrested by a policeman a few time later.

Police in 404 and killers in DS as always in the French thrillers of this age.
