TVRfan · 28 Apr 2002, 18:00 (Ref:272631)

about the dvd, if you go to www.amazon.com and search for Le Mans on DVD they give you the option to have an email sent to you when thr peopl decide to release it! i think theres a petition there as well. Blood good film thio, am halfway through, was in Spain last week so my girlfriend recorded it for me, dont you love em?

FG1 · 28 Apr 2002, 18:39 (Ref:272679)

Yep, did that ages ago. But the more the merrier, so perhaps I will do it again and again. (Make a request of Amazon that is!)

BTW, girlfriends that tape car movies for you are the most dangerous sort. They transform themselves into wives. BEWARE!

hehe, thanx for the warning! she's a big fan as well! (is that better or worse?) still havent watched the whole film yet (!) will give everyone my full verdict tomorrow. (coz i know your all riveted to find out what i think!)

kdr · 28 Apr 2002, 22:36 (Ref:272900)

regardless of the age, i really enjoyed it. it ought to be required viewing for the management of porsche(and ferrari).

i always thought max's interceptor was the coolest car in the movies, but mcqueen in the 917 on those last two laps...AWESOME!!!!

Anyone who wants to buy it could go to Mill house books www.millhousebooks.com but it's in NTSC format i.e. American and Japanese standard as opposed to the UK Pal standard and is priced at £34.95. I got it on tape from channel 5 and it's superb.

FG1 · 28 Apr 2002, 22:47 (Ref:272908)

I was very struck by some of the footage shot in the morning as the cars were facing into the sun whilst the road was still wet and there was a lot of spray about. They could see absolutely nothing for a few seconds.

When it was raining they couldn't see much even without the sun. Quite a sight.

A word of warning. I know some people have ordered an NTSC copy months ago and not had it yet. There may be a shortage of this copy too.

I think some ordered from Amazon.com and others from a British supplier, but not Mill House.

Full marks to C5 for the slide before and after each advert break which read 'Les Mans'.

dr.minardo · 29 Apr 2002, 15:44 (Ref:273394)

absolutely sodding typical, I have been waiting how many years for this to come on the tv, double c
heck the video, and power cut during the day means nothing at all, and no dog to kick either... still if ever I do find it for less than £35, i might be able to get obliging wife to buy it for me, she promised me already, I was in such a foul mood......

don't often bother posting, so hello.....

Doctor Doctor

I'm sure someone will copy it for you. I would offer but my picture started to break up for the last 20 minutes. I also had no dog to kick so the wife had to do.

If you can't find anyone else send me a tape and I'll do it.

appreciated, thanks,

TVRfan · 29 Apr 2002, 22:56 (Ref:273743)

at last finally seen Le Mans! Bl**dy good! Like it a lot!

The best thing has to be the sounds and onboard shots tho, WOW!

BTW can someone tell me where i can buy "a french kiss with Death" decided id like to read it!

TimD · 30 Apr 2002, 00:48 (Ref:273790)

Yippee! I get to plug my favourite bookshop again!

TVRfan, try Chris Knapman at Collectors Carbooks in Woburn. His website has the book currently listed at £39.95. You may find it cheaper elsewhere, but I seem to recall seeing stock in his shop a couple of weeks ago.

http://www.collectorscarbooks.com/

As always, usual caveats. I have no connection with the shop other than as a very satisfied customer.

TVRfan · 30 Apr 2002, 08:10 (Ref:273977)

thank you very much, would you suggest getting it then?

I finished it a couple of weeks ago. It's an enthralling read. By the way, £39.95 is the standard cover price. Just order it at your local W.H. Smiths - they got me a copy in 3 working days.

TVRfan · 30 Apr 2002, 12:34 (Ref:274301)

thank you very much, i went into W H Smith today and they said they couldnt get it (?) ill order it online i think.

"Couldn't get it"???

I went in our local branch (without the ISBN, I should add). They found it on their computer-thingy with no problem at all.

If you like, I'll let you have the ISBN - when I get back home from work.......

TVRfan · 30 Apr 2002, 12:49 (Ref:274324)

yeah that will be good thanx.

One question whilst your here Aysedasi, when Steve McQueen took over the Porsche 21 in the film, would that be legal now? Cheers

TVRfan · 30 Apr 2002, 12:50 (Ref:274325)

ooh, and another, would Le Mans ever be stopped in the event of a serious accident or freak weather, has it happened before or could it happen

Cheers TVRfan

LM was not stopped in 1955, because they wanted to keep the public on the track during the safety operations... and it was the worst accident in the race history...

At my knowing, LM was never been stopped... but I didn't checked...

phonee · 30 Apr 2002, 15:39 (Ref:274468)

For God's sake-you can rent it for a couple of quid!!!!!

FG1 · 30 Apr 2002, 15:46 (Ref:274474)

French Kiss with Death is available at Amazon.co.uk and Bol.com. Both sites around £40.

ISBN: 0837602343

When's my birthday? Damn, last week. I'll have to find another excuse!

I don't know if you guys have seen it but there's another book out there just call Le Mans 24 Hours. It's a historical ref. It's brand new.
