    Brilliant film, the incidental music and shots of you in the car just remind me so much of the film Gran Torino!

    Extraordinary man. Great film, Alec.
    I know the feeling he describes when the 8 first appeared... wanted one just from the magazine pictures. However, it took me 14 years to make it happen.
    Bud's car is amazingly original! So glad you documented it - and him!

    Another beautiful film, Alec....great ownership story and a gorgeous, original, time-warp car.
    It's unsurprising to me that so many aviation folks are attracted to the E31, with its sleek and powerful presence, superb aerodynamics and driver-centric cockpit design.
    Back in the 90's, it was likened to a jet fighter on wheels.

    Bud's car has sold for $US34,000 by the way.
