in a small art theatre in Washington DC with my wife and a friend. After loving this movie, we ask if we can take one of the movie posters, and after an impromptu drawing, we win one.

I go back to get it and meet the theatre manager.

Anyway here's a link to this indie movie of his attempt to rebuild it. The movie manager went on and on about going to Carlisle for a Ford weekend, and meeting all the interesting folks there. He had stumbled into the Grassroots family...

Sounds like that Shelby Tim found. Check Classic Motorsports for updates, they did the mechanicals, left the body alone, and are running it in one of those classic car rallies.

I lucked into a Senna Movie poster..guy in a Mk.5 GTI was leaving the early show just as I was getting out of my Corrado for the afternoon one. He had an extra..

It was a Mk.4 GTi btw...

I got the Japanese version of the poster at Sebring earlier this year. It's hanging in my office now.
