DodgeRover Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Nothing to do with me but I spotted this on retro Rides [quote] Hello I work at Wales High School in South Yorkshire (S26 5QQ) and I'm producing a short film with my students on Thursday 22nd December. The film is set in 1988 We're in desperate need for 80's cars for one of our scenes. Anything from mid 70s onwards would be fine. We literally need the cars to park in front of the school building for 15 minutes. Anybody on here local to South Yorkshire and can help? We can offer £25 to cover your expenses. Looking to shoot sometime at 9.30sm at S26 5QQ. Interested, please get in touch. Thanks, Liam Sanderson I can be contacted directly by email ls@waleshigh.com Thanks.

motorpunk Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 If it's not a commercial shoot then they shouldn't need to offer payment, either, surely someone with some chod can turn up to support a kids project for a while? Bit far for me in the Fiat, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using literally to make an exaggerated point (ie, when you mean 'figuratively') is a totally valid usage with a long historical precedent. The word is defined in the dictionary as such. Mark Twain did it, so did loads of other famous authors. Also, in this case, what makes you think he doesn't mean exactly what he says? He needs cars to be parked for literally 15 minutes. My verdict: nothing to see here AnnoyingPentium, N Dentressangle, somewhatfoolish and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not desperate enough to try and contact people on a timescale that might actually garner a result? Teaching kids to be feckless and disorganised? 🤣 I hope the budding auteur kept the need for a street scene secret and it's not the teacher in this case.

Never pay to "register" with anyone the genuine ones will take your details plus four pics of exterior plus one showing drivers interior with door open ( in case shots of driver will be used). hennabm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
