Mach 5 kits have been out for a LONG time. I always wanted one myself.

I'll take a car like that.




I'd also take trixie. (if she's old enough)

I was tempted in my early years on getting the SR body kit they made for my Corvette at the time. Just cant place it now though. Must be a bitch to parallel...

P.S. Chim Chim rocks!

The movie is due out May of next year, should be awesome with the Wachowski brothers doing it. Looks like a decent cast line up as well.

I think they did V for Vendetta also, awesome movie. If so, I have high hopes for their ability more than the script.

They wrote V for Vendetta. This will be the only one they have directed outside of the Matrix films.

You are wise Zombie-San. I remember they picked a rookie to direct V. Damn fine job on the first one out. It will be good as long as they do not commercialize it too much. No Pirates of the Crap... for Speed.

I actually recently made the mach 5 as a pine wood derby car for my god son. It came out pretty nice. I'll see if I can find a picture of it.

The story is based on the Alan Moore graphic novel. The brothers wrote the screenplay.

Wonder if they will stay "true to form" and make the lip-sync off like in the old cartoon? :D

Here's a shot of the pine wood derby car I made for my god son. I think he came in 3rd. (He was beat out as coolest car by something with lights [I didn't see it]. But the year before took coolest car with an Aston Martin Vantage).

Is there a hatch in the front for the little homing bird to come out?

I didn't have time to add that. I was also going to put in the buzz saws to take out the competition, but I only had the weekend to finish it.

Oh ya, the buzz saws would have been handy.
