Eric Bana's The Beast

[Tannerm]

Watching this documentry about Eric Bana (actor from Australia if ya didnt know) and his obsession with racing and his childhood fantasy car. Australian 73 XB Ford Falcon GT coupe. He also interviews fellow car enthusiasts with cool stories from them. Jay Leno, Jeremy Clarkson, and Dr. Phil (apparently he's a car nut...). So far its very interesting. Good watch. That is all. Oh, its on Netflix.

He just finished restoring his Falcon and I am in love!!! God, I wish this car was readily available in the US... THat is a slick ass car.

There was a larger thread back in Canada - it's still something I need to watch.

It was a good flick imho. Only a car person would enjoy.

I actually think non-car nuts would like it, too. My mom hates when I talk about cars, and she loved it. She said it was the first time a car guy's obsession was ever explained to her.

Wasnt too keen on the ending... It was great they restored his dad's 'bird, but what about the Beast!

The only thing that bothered me about it was were is the car now. Is it still in storage or is he getting it back into shape. My guess is after a wreck like that I would let it sit a year or two and the start back at it.

I remember seeing/hearing somewhere that it's back together now.
