Author Topic: Your 'Eleanor' ? (Read 1369 times)

was watching gone in 60 seconds today with some mates, and we had an interesting conversation about the car we loved above all others. what's your Eleanor?

as for me, i have dreamt of owning that gt500 in sky blue with 2 bright white racing stripes since i first saw the movie 7 years ago with all the trimming, it has to be one of my favourites, but i also just love the E type jags (a friend's dad owns an ex silverstone racer e-type, he took me for a ride in it several years ago, we hit 120 mph on a little country road in somerset, one of the most memorable experiences of my life...). it's a really tough call.

what about you?

My Elanor is my daughter, Elanor.

I did that to her ears, they don't stick out like that, honest.

I'm in the wrong country, but have wanted one since I was a teen.

Thats an Australian Ford. Being that I'm in The US might be hard to get.

Aussie actor Eric Bana (you may know him as The Hulk) is no poser, finally turning his first car into one wicked Down Under road racer.

I may have to go pick up this issue.
Thanx

The actual car "Elenor"in the movie gone in 60 seconds was made up. they started producing "Elenor" after the movie because it is such an awesome car.
