I'am talking about a jag and all of the sudden someone is erect in a living room?
Not the same jag,I was talking about the car.
Anyway,that guy in the jag was looking for trouble,well Kowalski keeps a strong pimp hand.When all was said and done someone ended up upsidedown in a pond crying.

I have some photos from the first half of the trip here;
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=116605&id=830012698&l=d1d0275946

You don't need to be a member of Facebook to see that. Part two will probably go up sometime in the near future.

Sorry there are not a lot of photos and the story is not very complete. I was mainly taking video so the photos are thin on the ground.

Cisco (where the crash into the bulldozers was filmed) we had to visit again on the way back from the trip as a dust storm hit us the first time. They filmed that in the "wrong" direction too. The car is going West to East when it crashes. There is hardly anything left standing in Cisco these days.

It's nice to know that I'm not alone. Of course, I love car fliks in general. I'm all about the original VP, however, I have watched the '96 version a number of times simply for the Mopar eye candy.

I will have to check out Facebook when I get home from work. Sounds like it was a cool trip!

  There used to be a site dedicated to the movie and it had the supposed route that was been taken in the movie, it also had the full script which was only a few pages long. I saved a lot of that info and it is on an old computor up stairs. Will try to find the info.
  I have travelled along some of the route and stopped at the town that they chased him out back and through, hadn't changed much as some of those towns do.
  Of course the naked bike rider was the wardrobe mistress.    :naughty:   they must have run out of money to buy anymore clothes for her to wear.     :droolingbounce:

A crazy thing there...The Blu-Ray version has both the American and European version of the movie on it. I won't spoil it for you by telling you the difference.    :grinno:

Yes.

Us guys on the trip last year started one called "Vanishing Point (The Return)" but there are 4 or 5 other fansites listed on there if you do a search.
