Yeah John I saw that movie a few years ago. I think it might have been on SKY. Its generally pretty slow going. My partner Helen is a real Sci-Fi geek, and even she struggled with it. I think I ended up watching it alone just to see the Lolas.

It was actually when watching Steve McQueens Le Mans as a kid I first fell in love with the T70 coupes, as one spins in the movie and does an impressive skid to get going again. From memory, they also use a T70 disguised as a Ferrari to do a Ferrari crash scene, I assume because the T70 was cheaper to wreck.
