The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Meant to post this last month. VP producer Richard Sarafin died 9/18

Yeah he did. It even made the BBC news! But not before Facebook of course.

Has any one of you guys made the trip to the town in Nevada were they made the town parts of the film ? Im thinking of going there next year if it is still there =)

Me, Drew, The other Pat, Eddie and Redraven all went around lots of the places in the film a few years ago. Roland on here went with Drew just recently.

Some of us plan to go again next year. But it is questionable if me or Wayne (Redraven) can make it. Just got to suck it and see if the money needed turns up because I for one am not managing to save at all with the current economic situation and flights from the UK cost more than the pennies I have in my jeans pocket that's for sure.

OK Dave i gues it whas great to see and visit as you plan to go again !? Andybody wish to share the places to visit regarding this film ? Im planing early april if i can save up

Here is a decent pic story of one of our trips if you are in to the Bookface thingy

No Drew,,WE go all the way over Yonder and HogTie those blokes back to Denver,,the women will be spared they get 1st class digs! Herman and Lilly Munster will help us!

I like that interview on Youtube. Mainly because I am hardly in it.

But the footage is the best stuff we got. Except for that footage Wayne got of me driving Eddies Challenger. I think Wayne managed to capture the essence of some of the movie's helicopter shots of the car. Even though Wayne was in a Truck.

Thats some pretty exciting stuff Pat, I was at the Pod myself in the late '90's trying to get to help crew for John Spuffards TF funny.
Nothing came of it in the end so I just carried on with my muscle cars and bikes on RWYB days.
Dead easy for me too cos I only live about 30 minutes from the track

Ade it´s sad that you dident make it happen whit John Spuffards then but i can ese you mind by saying you
save a lot of time and hard work becas it is a load of work and hard times to tarvel around Europe and never know when you can be back home and work together some more money to put food on the tabel but i dont regret any of it becas i did get to know some realy nice people like Gary Page Andy Carter Smax Smith Kim Raymond Anita Mäkele and quite a few hard working mekanics and other drivers but now i only relax on the stand and go around some in the pit talking to old friends and have a nice time insted and travel some more to US and i offcorse have more time over for my Challenger
