Ok,

So I was watching the original MadMax on my DVD player last night (wide
screen baby).  Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knew what type of car the
intial "cop" cars are in the first several scenes and then what MadMax is
driving at the end.  Obviously all are custom to the hilt, but what are the
base cars?

Thanks.

A variety of Australian Ford Falcon XB and XA Coupes and Sedans, early
1970s.  Here's one page with info:

I thought they were all AMC's?
At least that is what I remember.
Mad Max's car is a Javalin or an AMX I think.

A misconception from the American audience.  They were Falcons. Trivia
fact - the original release of Mad Max in America was *dubbed* because the
distributor didn't think the Americans would understand Mel's dialect.

Australian V8 Ford "Falcon", with some cosmetic additions.
(The car driven by Max is now in Britain).

A bit fuzzy on this, it's been a while, but weren't a lot of the cars based on
Holdens?

Yeah, I got the widescreen DVD version of it.  And you CAN easily tell its
not Mel.  I'd love to get a copy of the australian MadMax and RoadWarrior
DVDs....

On the topic of Mad Max, you guys HAVE tried PowerSlide, haven't you?  If
not, you're definitely missing out.  You can download the demo at:

http://www.ratbaggames.com/

FWIW, I think PowerSlide is currently my favorite driving sim, in fact --
SCGT and Viper Racing have certainly taken a back seat, and my seat time in
GPL is suffering too.  And I only have the demo, so far!  (The full version
should be here in a couple of days, I hope!)

Quite possibly (and extremely probable!), Doug.
Sorry....I thought he was referring to Max's car....which is a Falcon.
