GUMBALL RALLY.... not cannonball or whatever it was called with burt renolds and whoever.

gumball rally... ABOUT the real cannonball amateur coast to coast 'race'. Filmed in the mid 70's maybe.

of course I was (still am) freaky about AC cobras as a teenager... it's got a cobra, ferrari, xke, american muscle, even an el camino... and groovy chicks too.

oh sorry, I didn't notice the poll thingy... just read the title.... besides those aren't really 'car movies'... they are RACE car movies... that narrows it down.

In my opinion there's only two great car movies, Le Mans with Steve McQueen and Grand Prix with James Garner.

Between these two movies, which one do you think is your favorite.

(I have alterior motives for this poll question ;-))

How is this on topic? In your opinion, there are only two great car movies? I do not share your opinion, although I like both films and have met several people involved with the Frankeheimer production. Rather than hint at your lterior motives, it would have been easier if you told us what they were. Then maybe we could better analyze your poll question.

What makes a great car movie anyway? Cars in movies? You never explained the reasons for your two choices.

P.S. No one mentioned Barry Newman in Vanishing Point, then there's Two Lane Blacktop not to mention countless others with chases or races in them.

Scott never posts anywhere but the main forum. We forgive him because he is, after all, our Fearless Leader.

And besides, "If you're not first, you're last." (That has nothing whatsoever to do with anything - but it's a pretty cool quote from The Legend Of Ricky Bobby, the Greatest NASCAR Car Movie, ever made.)

It was just a fun question dude, lighten up.

you were all incorrect.

You are correct that everyone is incorrect - but they (we) are incorrect for the incorrect reasons. To correct the incorrectness, one simply should not forget the Charlie Sheen classic - "The Chase," featuring ScottNC's favorite ride (a BMW model number that begins with, dare we say in front of ScottNC - a "3").

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
