    Whooo! That was exciting. A high water mark for style, in my mind. Some ladies doing some serious "hair hopping". The fuel mixing "mom"?! Great music too. Thanks for posting that.

    Where can I buy it?
     
  15. Great time capsule.... Although I had to laugh when the narrator breathlessly said that 'cost for a single run could be up to $100' !!! Would that even cover the oil change and plugs these days?.... LOL!

  21. Wow, great film! Unfortunately many of my heros of those days are no longer with us but them and the memories they created will always be with us because of films like this.
