Just found about this movie, looks pretty interesting. It’s about the 25 year relationship Eric Bana had with his first car, a 1973 XB Ford Falcon. It’s a documentary and also features Jeremy Clarkson and Jay Leno, as well as Dr. Phill. lol

Here’s the trailer.

>
> Eric Bana casts himself in his perfect role: exploring the meaning of a 25-year-long relationship with his first car, “The Beast”, and ultimately the importance of the bonds that form through a common passion. Filmed over 2 years, we follow Eric on...

I hadn’t even known Bana was a car guy. +Respect for him.

I guess the word “relationship” and with a car may have made it sound something like the car sex thing, but come on dude, have you not heard of Eric Bana?

I actually haven’t heard of Eric Bana before, had to wikipedia that shit…but yeah the first thing that popped into my mind was the dude with the beetle. lol

On a more serious note, I love the idea of this movie, it’s something all us car guys can relate to. Especially the concept of how we love something so dearly that other consider a pile of shit. 😛

Yeah, I agree. It makes us form a community, just like we have here.

I think Leno and Clarkson in the movie is great. Two guys with a lot of love for cars so they fit right in and know what they’re talking about and perfectly understand that cars are more than just cars.
