Thanks Adam, great photos. Viewing them was as good as being there.
Great memories of my alltime favourite film. Ford marketing could really do with another film like Mad Max being made. I wouldnt mind obtaining one of the 2008 Reunion T-Shirts -did you see any and were they worth $45?

Thanks benoxr, the t-shirts for the little river reunion will be available soon. I will keep you posted if you want. The shirts for the past reunion's have been excellent so i would dare say that this one will be equally as impressive. I so want to build a replica it's not funny !!!

That would be good thanks Adam. Let me know when the T-shirts are out.

There are some good replicas around, especially overseas.
Cheers mate

Actually they're making Mad Max 4 but no Mel Gibson. It's going to be called Fury Road.

It was announced on the news 2 days ago that Mad Max 4 is being filmed at Fox Studios in Sydney.
Yes it was cancelled but things have obviously changed.

Looking through the galleries, i'm sure there was a pic of DeathXR in there.
I'm curious to know what was the town that was used in MM1, where the bikies terrorised the locals whilst waiting for nightriders coffin?

Nostalgia you've covered all the movie cars so I'll cover the other cars that were in the display & also parked down in front of the "movie pub" which also happens to be right next to the current Little River Pub.

But first up .... Roop (Steve Millichamp) and Charlie (John Ley) 30 years on .... Roop is in the blue shirt and Charlie is wearing black jeans & boots with silver fox hair do






The rest of the cars










This US Falcon is in the current issue of Street Machine Mag (Oct 08)












Stuck in the Little River train station carpark. Should have been outside the pub with all the other cars.

Default MAD MAX (PAT) Has returned in one piece....

Well gents what a great weekend - my family and I had a blast and took over 300 pics....

Here's a sample of some of the highlights....


"MAD PAT doing a MAD MAX impersonation...."


"The famous lookout"


"We found some ancient film artefact - well thats our story and we're sticking to it"


"Unbelievable I met the NIGHT RIDER"


"So cool - Roop in my car"



'What a pose..... he has it down pack"....


"The best looking car there and I do say so myself... he he he"


"How many kids/adults can fit in the back of a ford coupe...."

So you had enough or you want more...............

Default Interceptor Rocks....

I must admit I saw a few wet themselves.... :monkes: ... I did make a few guys dreams come true when my foolish wife told them I'd love to give them a ride in it for "free"..... grrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

But the aftermath and my new rank as "THERE GOD" made it worth while : .....

Can't wait to take it out to the GT Nationals in Adelaide.....

WOO HOO LONG LIVE THE V8 INTERCEPTOR....

Cheers COB115
