Default Fast and Furious 6 using classic Ford escort

Hi guys thought u may like to know that the new movie fnf 6 is being filmed out here where I live in Tenerife. Doing some big action stunts and get this... Using a escort which I believe is a MK 1 and they end up smashing it up. You can view it all on u tube. Just type in fast and furious 6 Tenerife. You will see it all been shot on a new stretch of new motorway near adeje. Lots of fords on this island. Living here now and having fun. I took video footage of the escort smashed up on a pick up its on u tube too. Take care!

A few of my friends cars are in it. Was hired as backdrop cars when filming scenes in London 2 weekends ago. I was gonna take my motor down but was on holiday, the same agency I filmed the "like a golf" advert with was involved.

Don't expect the film to be much good though tbh!

They had a few of these prepared by a company near banbury at considerable cost. When I went to have a remap and immob removed the guy was telling me about it then.

They are also using Gresham Street by St Pauls in London for filming - my other half works there and they've had notification the road is being closed off at the weekend very soon.

My Focus RS was booked in to be used in the London filming a couple of weekends ago but I wasn't too happy with the T&Cs of leaving my car there so blew it out.

I was asked to do close protection for the rock on this filming but had to turn it down as I was doing close protection for the princess and prince of Abu Dhabi at the time
