and the way they are flat out in 5th gear but somehow manage to change down to third and go even faster instead of smashing valves to pieces!

Also how slamming your car in to the ground after a big jump, your car is still straight enough to drive home lol

I like how at 120 mph he finally decides to floor it. When they first came out those movies, and it was all blurry I was thinking 180 plus surely, and then you see the speedo struggling for a ton.

I want to know how the fuck you make a 'bad' tuna sandwich? It's just bread, butter, tuna, and if you want, some mayo. Not fucking hard is it!

Thats it.

Open tin of tuna, then squeeze juice out.

Put into bowl with some Salad Cream of Mayo.

Add Pepper and mix.

Then butter 2 pieces of bread and slop it on.

Cut into your desired shapes.

How fuckin hard is that?

I really don't get those films, all the gear changes, the fact it has a turbo, nos plus other tuning and it struggles to top a ton! Even my fiesta struggles less! And why did the car blow up when they shot it, nitrous won't do that will it? And 10 second cars, my arse!! I liked it when it first came out (cut me some slack, I was only like 10). Such a bad film, make a film with some cossies I say.

Yes these films are let down by the fake bits, but it's not designed to be real it's a story and the were trying special effects to show the cars were fast, but real car people laugh at it.

Tokyo Drift is the best of the 4 as it's more realistic and better driving through most of the film (Apart from them drifting down the mountain and the bird is sooooo relaxed ane can have a calm talk with the bloke drifting when most people get thrown about in the car )

The 2nd one was a pile of shyte and the 4th was pretty good.

The latest one has an RS200 replica in it, it was on an RS200 website, it was cossie engine'd. Still think the films are a bit naff, although Vin Diesel's sister (can't remember her name) is quite smart, especially in the latest film.
