Spurious Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I love Ronin's chases, they are something special. The XMs moment of cinematic fame. And some Audis and other tat.... Skidderwolf, Stinkwheel, loserone and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaseracer Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 The white car hit by Gene Hackman's commandeered Pontiac toward the end of the FC chase was apparently a 'civilian' in the wrong place at the wrong time. Allegedly, the application of mucho dinero was required to calm troubled waters... Burnside, Stinkwheel and FakeConcern 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeeExEll Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 The Sweeney 'Stoppo Driver' episode Consul GT chase was on Youtube for ages but seems to be currently unavailable.

JeeExEll Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 The main chase is nearer the end. This is all of the original film ↓ 71 Mustang made up to look like a 73. Interesting background info from Wiki. A lot of the filming was done on public roads in daytime. FakeConcern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greengartside Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 The Ronin chase is up there for me as well, the way the XM and 406 were driven was fiendishly brutal. Stinkwheel, FakeConcern, Burnside and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willswitchengage Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Classic James Bond really did set a precedent with these.

I always thought it was more like a 520, which would mean even with 2.0 litres, the Pug was on a better footing. 22 hours ago, FakeConcern said: Is the Charger the most used in car chases? In America, quite possibly. In Europe, it's going to be close between the Alfa Romeo Giulia and the Citroen DS, both extremely favoured. There are plenty of Euro chases on the Toob to back me up in this. FakeConcern 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
