Looks like this will be my once a year trip to the theater.. The next one will be the new Terminator movie.

All 'imma say is I really need to get a shop built. Dad is p*ssed off enough about one Ford, couldn't imagine what he'd say about two...


With regard to Ken Miles, I hope they make mention of the fact he honed his driving skills by successfully dodging Nazi tank rounds from 39-45. IIRC, I don't think his tank took a hit.

Because no one would know what that was.
I'm pretty sure, A LOT of FORD guys know when Ford beat Ferrari with the GT at Le Mans. Anybody else, it would just be a movie about a race.

Yes. old car guys will, but they have to sell more tickets than that.

Looks like it will be a good movie. Watching an American brand make the Europeans eat their hat will be a bonus. Too bad we don't do it more often. We've shown we can do it.
