Anybody had a chance to see this latest film by Clint Eastwood ?

Dont go if you are expecting a film about a car !!

Do go if you want to see one of the best films this year !!:worship:
Plot is;
Old Vietnam vet is the very few living in his neighbourhood, that is mainly Japanese and Vietnamese.
He has an old 72 Torino, that is a beaut.

Plenty of racial language against the East, plenty of laughs, courtesy of Eastwoods dry wit, and an unexpected ending.

Fantastic film, would really recommend !!:cool:

Great film!! ]

That Torino was supposed to be a 428 Cobra Jet. Wish it had appeared more.

Promised myself I wouldn't buy anymore guns, but I fancy an M1 Garand now... love the way they eject the clip after loosing off the eight!

I used to have one of those.

Bought it in 1986.

351CJ. It was a built for export car.

Chris Cockburn of the Ill-Eagals had it some years after me.

It went well.
