Just watched "2Fast,2Furious" at the Kilmarnock Odeon and was greeted outside with a Skyline GTS getting a complete photoshoot for Odeon Promotion. Didn't think much of it and whilst my fiancee was in the toilet within the premises, I went and got my car.

But as I jumped into my motor, this guy came up to me and wanted my car in the photoshoot! So I agreed and parked it the way he wanted me to and whilst all this was happening, a crowd was gathering.)

When he finished, he thanked me for my time and then off I went on my merry way.

Anyway, thought I would share my experience with you guys.

Cheers

Gordon Shek

Cool

How was the film ??

Was it the same "no story, but lots of nice cars and woman" as the last one ?

Nice one Gordon!

The skyline is only really in for the first 20 minutes and then onto the evo.

I enjoyed the film although some of it was a case of "no way that would ever happen"

I do hope the police over here don't get those weird things that they fire at the cars and disable the electrics!

The film reminded me of a scary film, it won't/doesn'/impossible to happen in real life.

But, having said all that, it had really good entertainment value.

At the end of the day, it's really up to the individuals taste, whether they liked it because of the cars, the burds or whatever.

I enjoyed the film, it was a good laugh and I would actually go and see it again.

Cheers

Not seen the film but at a guess that would be an EMP device

it puts current/voltage into the chasis of the car.

this is the ground of the car

Basically reverses polarity / too much voltage / confuses the electrics

Thumbs up

Actually quite enjoyed it, but the film is a bit on the dodgy side but mindless entertainment. Huge number of errors / oversights, it makes the first one look like a documentary

If the police used that thing to stop cars then all you'd have to do to get around it would be to earth everything to somwhere other than the shell, or have non-metal panels.

Congrats on the new found fame Gorodn
