What would an old joint like that be worth these days ya reckon? Any idea how many tsubo/hectares/acres that place has?
No idea, but it's got a big f*ck-off fence around it. The house actually sits on top of a hill. Just below the hill in that photo is a brand new suburb which is basically on May's doorstep. So in a couple of years the May Swayze house will be surrounded by new houses.
If you can find it on Google Earth it'll probably give you a better idea of where it's located. Sam had done all the research before we got there. I had no idea where it was! hehe.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY,you don't go to HEAVEN,you come to USSSS![/i]
Ha Ha. Indeed.
Those movies are great. Couldn't find them anywhere here in The Netherlands. Bought a brand new original box via Ebay from Britain. The Sphere was a bit to expencive fore me.
"UNDERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" is how far you take the fence with you.
The white XA belonged to Bob Francis. Bob was also the previous owner of the XA in Two Hands prior to it being the film. He had a great photo collection of the car being rebuilt for the movie.
From what I remember the skirts on his white XA were custom made. They were kinda dodgy up close, but from a distance they made the car look mean.
Hey Nelson, I've got a few more photos in print. I'll scan them and put em up!
