    Yup, wife and daughter drag me to the movies and I was less than thrilled - but beer and carmel corn, OK, I can deal with it. But partway through the movie I let out a cheer (wife shushed me as this was not a cheering movie) as I saw a beautiful red 355 roll across the screen. Just a movie, but it was nice to see the car worked into so many scenes!

    Good points - the movie took place in OK, the car and owner were from FL, this would imply the car was driven from FL to OK and back (yes I am reaching) but had to find a good point because the movie depicts the owner as a loser who picks up on 14 year olds.

    Oh well, as stated above, great to see the car in the movie.

    Well, pretty good after a large Carmel Corn and two Stella's, but let me tell you, no matter how messed up you think your family is, after experiencing this movie you will believe you were born into a family of saints.

    The 355 Spyder used in the movie was actually 2 cars. One F1 transmission, One 6 speed. (Julia couldn't drive a stick) The scene where he passes the Lincon (with top up) was 1 of 11 takes. The fastest take was radared at 172mph. Many,many scenes never used in the movie where the car was driven on gravel roads at 90+. The six speed car was signed on the dash by the cast and crew.( Including Julia, Durmont, Juliette, ect) It remains here with other cars used in the movie!!!

    Did 150 in my BMW on way to Vegas once, would love to see what my 355 can do.

    I was contracted to furnish, maintain and drive the "fast scenes" for the Ferraris. All repairs , matainance , transportation and repairs were covered. The 3 pedal car had the exhaust modified to be VERY loud. I also gave a Highway patrol captin a night ride at 160+. The look on his face was priceless! I worked the movie for 4 months. Lots of work and LOTS of fun!!!!
