Chitty chitty bang bang was built by a crackpot inventer that got his kids caught up with a kiddy fiddler that kidnapped them.
Daisy Duke might have drove around with her cousins pissing boss hog off and swaying her cute ass in the boars head but I don't think they were register fodder like Crackpott! |

That’s just being mean,,, he wasn’t a crackpot inventor at all ,,, he was just mildly eccentric
And the Child catcher got his comeuppance and was a changed man after the electric shock therapy,, so there!! nur-nur
Your just jealous cuz the General Lee looks so gay!!!
In-fact I'm gonna vote for the Dukes of Hazard film in the worst ever movie thread.... so ha-ha

"...and Bonds DB5 and the lotus that goes underwater..
Common fallacy. The 'underwater' car was a Lotus Esprit."

For me it has to be the Dodge challenger from Vanishing Point, the 55 chevy that was in Two Lane Black Top and American Graffiti and the 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge, the Ford Falcons from Mad Max films, the 32 coupe from California Kid, the 41 Willys from Hot Rod (no smutty comments please lol), the Dodge Charger from Dirty Mary Crazy Larry.
I'll stop there cos I could go on all night |

"The car the kid drove in the opening sequence of the Pink Panther cartoon.
I wanted that car SO much."
I used to have a model of that...... must be 40 years ago now I forget the designer and builder`s name but Revell did at least three of his creations - the Pink Panther car, The Outhouse which had a shed-like arrangement with two toilet seats on a "box" (those who have seen basic country cottage toilets will know exactly what I`m talking about) and The Bathtub which had two upholstered baths for passenger accomodation and an upholstered karsi for the driver! |

Actually, it appears that the cars I`ve described were designed and built by at least two different people.
However, Google Pink Panther Car and you will be amazed to find that it`s actually up for auction in the very near future! How much can you afford?!!!! |

"Mine: the Ford Mustang in Bullitt.
It was a Ford Mustang 390 GT. The engine that is heard in the film is an over dub of a Ford GT40. "
It might as well have been a reconditioned Lawn mower engine, it couldnt keep up with that Charger R/T

Its the only Dodge Charger with 5 hub caps that I know of. Watch the chase scene and count them coming off.
The Charger was 440 cubic inch R/T with 375 bhp. |

"Gotta be The mystery machine out of Scooby Doo, I think it was a 1966 Chevrolet Sportvan 108."
Could have been a Ford van from same era, there's been a few creations over the years. |
