Few pics. CSi nearly makes it into new movie

[Dave B]

Hi group. My first post for far too long! I went to see the Railway Man movie last night, starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth. It's about a British guy who was tortured by the Japanese during the 2nd World War. Part of the film was set in the late 1970's, and myself and a few other guys were asked to bring our classic cars along in case we were needed - basically the cars had to be period and may be required as background scenery. It was a really interesting day on the set. Long story short though - we must have been left on the cutting room floor as our cars never made it into the film!

The following pics show the stars, a couple of pics on the set, and my CSi. I would have got a great pic of Colin Firth, but he just had to turn round at the wrong moment and check out my Coupe!

I speculate the Japanese wanted to know who had the idea of slapping a vinyl roof on a Coupe. Must be a Briton trying to discredit an Italian inspired German car.

The past is never dead, it's not even past...
