"Love the Beast", race car documentary

Post by MiataSteve » Sat Dec 18, 2010 7:40 am

For my fellow couch/desk racers....

Thought I would pass this along. The story of actor (Black Hawk Down) Eric Bana and his 25 year "relationship" with his Aussie Ford XB Falcon.

Trailer: http://www.lovethebeast.com.au/


Full length movie: http://www.hulu.com/watch/174633/love-the-beast

You have to sign in because its rated "R" for swearing!

I streamed this movie on Netflix on Steve's recommendation, and now I'm an Eric Bana fan. Good dude, good story, well presented, and great scenery.

Thanks for the link, Steve. I never heard of the guy until two weeks ago in the "time traveler's wife" and then this, which was great. He's got his head screwed on right.

I saw this documentary awhile back and I'll also recommend it. The movie made me really want a Ford Falcon.
