What type of car did Mad Max drive in the original movie and the first part of the second movie? In that version of post-apocalyptic Australia it was claimed to be the "last of the V-8 Interceptors" and it had a blower. I believe that it was more than a match for "Toe-Cutter's" bike (which, if memory serves, may have been a KZ1000 Kawi).

Mad Max drove a Ford Falcon XB Coupe, V8 351 - modified just a bit or course. Stock didn't come with extra fuel tanks, nitrous or self destruct package.

It's those Suba-bloody-who WRXs that I like to smoke. By the way, why are they always driven by little blokes with baseball caps turned backwards?
My only comment on the OP is: Don't sweat it. It was the Devil that made you do it.
Cheers, I've got to get off my backside and change brake pads and refit wheels to the CB, with brand new Michies mounted.

As long as you're not putting yourself in a position with no "out", I say blow their doors off. Then wave politely.

dUh, if you're head's on back-to-front you'd better. Why else would you wear a baseball cap backwards?
In East Timor, where the backward baseball cap is popular,they often wear them under their helmets so you can see the bill sticking out at the back.
That's a nice looking bike. What is it?

Whoops. I'm having one of those maybe I should have been a little more temperate moments. Can I buy you a beer mate? Especially if you are a 200lb gorilla wearing cowboy boots (two beers for that)
Cheers

33200kms. Rear brakes below the indicator line and fronts with just a smidgin showing. But your right, good opportunity to change all. I put sintered on the fronts and organic on the rear. Any comments?
Cheers
