Why does the '935' have a V8

The others look suspiciously like Covins? Anyone know?

This film is what started my on my 911 obsession, looking back now I'm not convinced they were 911s! The key and the tacho were 911, but everything else looks more than a bit wonky.

I remember my dad taking me to see that film in the cinema when I was a kid. Even at that young age I realised it was bloody awful! The only plus point was those cars.

Wow, Condor man was the film that got me obsessed with cars from an early age. Back then I was convinced that Condor man's car was a Lambo. Not sure what it is (sure is fugly)

I think Condor man's car did the escape in water trick with so much more elan than James Bonds Esprit

Condorman saw it at Heanor Empire Cinema, walked through the snow and rain with my mum just to get there. Wellies and a Parker

Gumball Rally got me into cars proper. Condorman is inferior.

I need to fit a spinning radar to mine.

'Push the uda button'

Condor man's car was (barely) a Nova (Sterling or Eagle SS in the USA). Probably had a 1600 VW engine in it!

Me too I was probably about 11 or 12 years old, when out and bought a monogram 1/24th Cobra kit and then a 1/16th Airfix version. The VHS cassette was well worn, the final scenes in the floodways (whatever they are called) is awesome. It rarely gets a look in on the car movie lists, yet its one of the best for me.

Also the early scenes when the race has just started and the Cobra is running through the city streets.

I need to find it on Doovde

+ my 1st understanding of what a true Italian driver was all about .... when he sits in the Daytona & rips the rear view mirror out ...
