We didn't get to meet Gene Hackman but I did sit opposite the baddie who exchanged one Air France bag with 'drugs' for another with 'money'. He constantly made jokes as we waited for cameras to be resited or other technical reasons and he sang "When Irish eyes are smiling" to me
I've got that on DVD... about what time during the flic? I'll have to dig it out and have a look! Btw - '73 is the year I was born... :eusa-whistle:

Sadly we don't appear in the finished movie. My brother was just here and we were discussing it and he watched it again recently determined to see us but of course we STILL weren't there :lol: . No matter, the experience was great, even though at the tender age I was then, I'd never heard of Gene Hackman and thought it was a woman!Mlbblue said:BangorRCZ said:My brother and I hitch-hiked around Europe for 3 weeks back in '73 and I was in the kitchen of the Youth Hostel when he came in to say we'd been hired by 20th Century Fox as extras for French Connection II.

Well I have some great motoring experiences over the years.
In the good old days they used to hold fleet days at race circuits for fleet managers to test out the cars & have a very good time.
At Donnington park was asked to sit in with Russ Swift who is a top class auto-test driver & did the Rover demonstration driving on two wheels & handbrake parking between two cars with only inches to spare.
I also won a prize that entailed me spending two days with Prodrive in Banbury & had the ultimate experience of riding shot gun with the late great Colin Mcrae through a special stage.
This was videoed & given to me along with lots of other goodies.
The video is fantastic although I have the biggest grin on my face from start to finish, I also beat him & Pierre Liatte at Sega rally & won a bottle of champagne.
It was a fabulous experience.
Also spent a day with the late Richard Burns on a Caterham day down at Brooklands racing around a series of cones to see if anyone could beat him which of course nobody could get close but it was a great fun in trying.

Work in Air Traffic Control at Gatwick Airport (been doing job for nearly 26 years :thumbup: )
Had 2 trials with Liverpool FC in my youth, failed miserably BOTH times :brickwall:
Again in my youth, I got knocked down by Kevin Keegan on his way to pick up his Liverpool Echo Player of the Year award. I ran out in front of him (he couldnt avoid me). This was the week he first appeared in the "Green X Man" adverts :wtf:
After 19 years together, me and the mrs decided to get married (didnt want to rush it ), so we went off and got "done" in Cuba (3 years ago)

Had open heart surgery at the age of 13 (was born with a heart condition) was house bound for like 4 months
currently at university studying business studies
played drums for a year (instructor was terrible he would only teach me the basic rock beat which is really easy to do so I quit due to him being useless)
I have been lucky enough to sit in and start up a Bugatti Veyron that was for sale £1,000,000 (was shocked to find the car keys were from a Bentley GT lol)
My driving instructor taught the guitarist from the band Kasabian to drive (before the guitarist got famous that is)
and I have driven an Aston Martin DBS (2010) and a Porsche Cayman S Porsche Design 1 (2008) in a large business park car park before but sadly were not my cars
