    The Italian Job

    This is probably old news to most of you but my son just texted me that in one of the last scenes in the movie the Italian Job there is an 850. Is this common knowledge to 8r's? I guess it's the car one of the guys buys with his portion of the stolen money.

    Actually its a black 840 driven by the guy who wanted an Aston Martin. and it is in the first 15 minutes. You can tell its an 840 by the deep exhaust.

    It's the black 840Ci picture car. It's been in a few movies. I know the rental company that rents it out. They specialize in picture cars. They're in the northern SF valley areas. Canoga park.

    Was watching the old movie, The Informant, and Matt Damon was sitting inside a dark 8. And supposedly, he was riding in a few good looking rides in that movie.

    on page three of that link, the yellow car is mine. I put it in a music video which I directed a few years ago.

    I just loaded info up to that site for the film my car was in a few months back. Should be posted soon.

    This is the Sheriff (L) and the bad guy (R). My car was the bad guys ride throughout the film...'cause my car's Bad.

    There is a new series on Netflix called Deadwind. One of the detectives drives an E31. At least I thought it was an E31. Looks like one to me. There are a couple of shots where you can see it early on. At about 11:40 into the first episode they are going to take a person in to identify his wife/girlfriend at the morgue. So they are walking over to his car and the one detective opens the passenger door for the guy to get in the back seat for the ride. That's when I start to question if it is in fact an E31.
