Two Lane Blacktop
I must admit two lane is a great flick, although not readily available in OZ, many of my friends have watched and thought the same. It breaks down the fastness put into movies and gives great flashbacks to my days gone by with cars.
If your after more car films, a few I could well recommend are:
RUNNING ON EMPTY (OZ FILM)
MIDNIGHT SPARES (OZ FILM)
HIGH ROLLING (OZ FILM)
VANISHING POINT (THERE IS TWO VERSIONS "72" & "97" YEAR)
ROAD RAGE (YANK FILM)
JUNKMAN (GONE IN 60 SECONDS 2)
THE CALIFORNIA KID (YANK FILM)
DRIVER (RYAN O'NEIL)
These are a few of my favorites, check em' out
If it's all the same to you....I'll drive that tanker!

Don't forget the great OZ film 'The cars that ate Paris'
"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.
