I heard that they were going to use an EVO because they were worried about the Saphs gearbox but then it snowed at the last minute, and the director said "thank fuck for that, we can have a cool car now, get that piece of japanese shit off my set!!!"

Never seen it before - then watched it the other night on TV..... What a load of shit

Saph Cos was on it for about 30secs - might aswell watche an old episode of Spender as Jimmy Nails one is on much longer

Worth it for the Alex Kingston full frontal nudity tho

Shit film tho (IMO) just another of the "look at me, I'm so fucking hard, I'm the daddy, yeah yeah" films

great film
I think that was a 3i not a turbo. The part where they tried to get away but drove into the big tree?

I helped my mate break the cosworth used in this film.

The film makers had it for months and months and the stunt driver stuffed it into a curb doing the doughnuts bending the rear beam.

They paid for all the repair work and gave it back to the owner with about Ł9K if i remember properly. About two weeks after that his mrs was driving it in a supermarket car park and got it on boost! (400bhp+) and stuffed it into a trolley bay.

It lay on his drive for 6months and then my mate stepped in. Rear brakes on my RS Turbo are off this car. OHHH!!!!
