If I sell it it will probably be one of those deals where it goes on eBay with a high reserve. If it has to go, I gotta get paid. With the economy the way it is, I can't imagine I'd have too much luck though. Kinda crazy looking at someone selling a Piaggio MP3 for $14,000 and I'm afraid I won't get that for my car. I've said it a million times, but damn money adds up with hot rods. Just a couple of examples... my last dyno tune cost me $1320 + working with a friend to pay for a ride one way + $200 for a rollback the other way. I can't afford that over and over so I just spent $1300 for a Megasquirt, another wideband for it, and a laptop so I can tune it myself. There's $2820 just trying to get the thing in tune, and that's really only the beginning of the tuning expenses... if you count the wideband I already have, all the gaskets I've blown, and so on... wow. You can imagine what must be into the actual parts on the car. I just don;t have that kind of money anymore. Actually, I never had that kind of money. I just didn't spend what money I had on anything but the car for years. I hate to tell people what's in the car because it makes it sound like I actually have money and I sure don't... once again why it should be sold.

Not bad. Surprisingly "techy" for 1964.

WHAT? I'm on the fourth page and no one has mentioned the Luc Besson movies: Taxi (plus the sequels) and Transporter (plus the sequels) although I must admit they get thinner with each sequel  . You say you're "into car movies". Taxi has great beginning where the camera follows scooter around Marseilles. And in Transporter 2 the driver removes bomb from under the car by jumping the car, rolling it 360 degrees lengthwise, hitting a crane and landing on the wheels. Here is the beginning of Taxi (1): www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0kZKI6hUwE Doesn't it make you want to go out and ride your scooter? (Don't bother with the American version of Taxi, it's crap.) Here is the stupid, but fun, :lol: bomb removal from Transporter: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EalGgwgi1iM |

I've seen the opening scene from Taxi many times, never seen the whole movie. I've only watched the first Transporter. I liked it, but for some reason I had no desire to watch the others? At that rate, lots of Bond films would fit in here.
I like the stuff involving hot rods and muscle cars more than anything. As you can see, I even watch cheesy old movies if they involve hot rods.

I'd have thought that everyone here would've seen Taxi, just for the Scooter scenes. :thumb: Of course it's kind of difficult for most Americans since it's in French, you're not used to subtitles :no: (Also the french humor is not for everyone, but I :rofl: ).

I'll have to check it out. I figured it was probably just the one scene.

It basically is just the opening scene, but scooters are seen here and there in the movie.
