Dorsai Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 Head Country! Ponca City, OK. Used to live there, and know it well. We discovered it ages ago, and ever since we’ve always brought a case home whenever the opportunity presents itself. We’ve introduced friends to it, so now we have a little Head Country cult established. Speaking of movies, has anyone seen the original Gone In 60 Seconds? It wasn’t a great movie by any stretch, but about 2/3 of it is an epic car chase/crash/demolition derby. One of my all-time favorites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HB Halicki was and always will be the realistic car crash king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rembrant Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Speaking of movies, has anyone seen the original Gone In 60 Seconds? It wasn’t a great movie by any stretch, but about 2/3 of it is an epic car chase/crash/demolition derby. One of my all-time favorites! Yes! Even the original has been 'revised' a couple times over the years to change the soundtrack. The original soundtrack music was all done by a guy named Phil Katachurian or something like that. I've seen re-releases of it that were updated somewhat and had different music. I'm quite fond of the original. I believe that Mustang is still sitting on display somewhere in southern California isn't it? I always meant to go see it, but never did. It may be long gone now, I'm not sure.

Last I heard it was still owned by the Halicki family, but the website for the movie seems to be a virus now so there's no telling. It was at the Petersen for the 50 years of Mustang exhibit a few years back, but was on loan from the Halicki family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the guy on the south side in a few miles with all the gas station signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be dating myself a bit here, but I saw the original "Gone in 60 seconds", Star wars, and Smokey & the Bandit when they were still in the first week... Matthew, looks like you're making good time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew, looks like you're making good time! I should have known many of you would have seen the original. :). I tried to get my wife to watch it, but she gave up before it got good. :( I’m west of Little Rock now, but I’m running late - at my last fuel stop I could NOT get the truck started again - I’m thinking maybe the ignition module is overheated? Took me about 90 minutes to get it going again, fortunately the station owner was OK with me blocking a pump for a bit. But once it started, it was good to go - I’m just not turning it off at the pumps now. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
