I love that line..."Green hey! Green's nice!"

I use it all the time!!

Donny · 09-02-2008, 01:39 AM

Anyone remember this line from ROE??

You are a big pile of steaming sh!t and I wouldn't cross the road to see you burn.

Tony has some good lines with the accent on.

I know one thing for sure, the Aces club....Got room for a new member now.

It is a genuine R/T 440 6-pack. I believe it now lives in QLD and of course the
No. plates read "FOX 1".

...I thought the plates read 70FOX now...

The Yeti · 09-02-2008, 10:42 AM

no it was FOX 1 in the movie the plates it wares now are 70 FOX

as for the XY shell in the out back where talking nearly 30 years ago, there was more chance of finding one then than there is now

"She still catches in 2nd"

hehe

ratter · 09-02-2008, 11:56 AM

Classic of a film, they used to play it in every dusk to dawn (remember them?) screenings at the drive in (remember them?) along with another classic aussie movie, "puberty blues" ( :( ), the only drama was they would play running on empty last and by the time the 57 was doing the burnouts at the end, the sun was coming up and the screen just would go white.

ahh the good ol days

wouldn`t have been that scarce at the time the movie was made.

The Challenger from ROE still gets around in it's full movie spec.

No. plates read "FOX 1".

"It's Victor! V-I-C-T-O-R. You tell Mike Victor was here and he's got wheels
that are ready to run."

From memory midnite spares was the one where they filmed a few parts at Parramatta speedway, I remember one of the blokes that my father used to race with was in the movie for about 3 seconds, funny thing is I was thinking about both movies this morning and I come on here and find a thread about it.

Yep, you're right.
I was looking through some old Street Machine mags this morning and came
across the article on it and saw it wearing 70FOX plates.

"D'oh!" :togo:

Every time I see that movie, especially that clip of the XY taking off, I just want to get my XW fairmont 378 windsor back on the road, I really miss driving it

True, I did not think of that. It would be a nice find though.

Nostalgia · 09-02-2008, 01:33 PM

"Its like watching the television, The pictures are better on the Wireless" Excellent movie.

xw383 · 09-02-2008, 01:46 PM

" Spotto a Blown 57 Chevy Tudor ". lol
I still watch this movie from time to time but i don't seem to be able to get a copy of Midnite Spares.
Metal Skin is the biggest disappointment of all Australian car movies.

StealthAu · 09-02-2008, 01:48 PM

Just wait till I get her hopping

BZINGA · 09-02-2008, 01:50 PM

Ya check the jets? ( yeh ) well it doesn't sound right does it

Looks like a hot one Foxxy

BZINGA · 09-02-2008, 02:02 PM

Apparently the 57 chev was written off not long after the movie, anyone know the story?

Jayden · 09-02-2008, 03:43 PM

At the risk of making no friends here, I thought the dialog and acting was amazingly bad. But ill have to watch it again for the cars. All Australian films seem to involve at least one Falcon ive noticed, or I just choose the right movies to watch :P.

Quasi · 09-02-2008, 04:01 PM

"Jacko...he does the wheel work mostly.....need a seein' eye dog to find his own a**e"

Lost count of how many times I've seen this, but leterally wore out the VHS I had 15 to 20 years ago....thank God for DVD.

That's right mate just my opinion. If you have the need to attack people feel free. It's good to see that non judgemental people live in perth. But then again i guess Running on empty is still being shown in the cinema.

Everyone has a right to an opinion but there's no need to be a grumblebum in a thread where everyone is enjoying the movie
