Re: The Snake and the Mongoose.

I still have my Snake/Mongoose cars. In fact I have two sets in different
colors, and the little parachutes that came with the set. Don't know where
the track went to.

David,

Sorry, but you better watch that one again. One of my favorite movies.
Jimmy is a photographer, not a race car driver.

Great movie. I love the setting.

Dates you !!!!

Gimme a break. I remember "Thunder In Carolina" starring Rory Calhoun.

Actually, I think one of the great underappreciated racing movies is
"Rear Window". Jimmy Stewart plays the part of a recuperating race
driver confined to a wheelchair and an apartment while his broken leg
heals. There isn't any great racing footage BUT, our hero has Grace
Kelly to nurse him back to health. Tony Stewart should be so lucky !
