Burt Reynolds wanted to be in a movie that featured a bunch of his friends. That is the reason “Cannonball Run” was filmed.

I remember hearing about that. Was he involved in the Run?
To: GSWarrior
Actually I do believe they made a sequel right after the first one, but was not as good. Might as well make another one in 2007 that really stinks. lol.

Gumball Rally was much better,
I did not see that. I will have to take a look in the video store.
To: GSWarrior
Cult classic.

That was great. Not sure if it was a joke I got to drive around Napoli.

“Watch for a white Challenger, license plates initial OA-5599. Colorado plates. Last seen heading for Dunphy on US 40 at cruising speed. We have reason to believe that it’s supercharged, so maintain double alert ‘til you spot
it, and then call in for instructions. Over and out.”

Teletype? Haven’t they replaced those obsolete Model 19’s yet? The Model 28 is a real jewel!
To: Ramius
It’s considered one of the best car chase movies ever. I liked it.
To: AFreeBird
That movie had the FASTEST VW bug! It kept getting ahead of the two chase cars.

Also from Gumball Rally:
“55 is fast enough to kill you, but just slow enough to let you think you are safe”.

They started a series called Drive that had the same kind of race. It was pulled after 3 episodes (7 days.) It was just becoming interesting.

Ugh! I hate when they pull a series so quick. They do not allow a show to build an audience anymore. Seinfeld did horrible in the ratings, but built to what it was at the end. Today Seinfeld would have been cancelled for sure and we would not have gotten to enjoy the show.
