I didn't get a speaking part, but to be technical about it, it was a "sound part" as I drove my 2CV all around a big field and they recorded its noises. The sound director was saying things to me like,


"Accelerate hard to 30, swing to the left, stop as hard as you can, then accelerate gently back to 20, turn right" etc

Then he would say "is that as hard as you can accelerate?" and I would say "It's only 33 horsepower you know!"

Two of my cars were in the movie.

Angela was pretty much a killer tomato herself -- such a pretty face and a very nice person too.

So now my Samurai watch is like the 1976 Cadillac Eldorado, devalued by a new model with the same old name?

Rats! I got this one in 2003 to match my new Volvo I was trying to get them all, but never managed to buy a black one before I got distracted by Grand Seikos. Eventually I sold these two. Then the Samurai more or less disappeared for a decade before the o...

I didn't buy her, but I got to teach her to drive my 2CV for a movie. You know, the old line "first you grab this thing with the knob on it, push, pull, twist etc" With a Citroen it does take a little coaching ... and I got paid for my time. That was a go... 

Apparently she appeared in a big blockbuster called:
