    For maximum protection, wear textile jacket & trousers and then take the
    bus.

    Never underestimate the power of knitwear.

  10. Even that wouldn't happen if you weren't so scrawny.

    Although it, assuming your talking about the supercharged Falcon XB, was
    never referred to as the Interceptor. Just a pursuit special.

    With a pppiece from here and a pppiece from there.

  15. "The last of the V8s."

    I like Aussie muscle cars. Some of them were just re-worked Yanktanks,
    to be sure, but a few of them were better looking. And, of course, had
    the wheel on the proper side.

    The reference to "the last of the V8s, piece of history. Would have been
    a shame to blow it up" was the second film. Not, as the discussion had
    been, the first film. You impudent puppy.

    The majority of the cars were Aus only machines, especially the first
    film with exception of the Chev Impala. They may have been based on US
    muscle cars but there's something seriously understated about non-US
    styled machines....

    The only reference to "interceptor" in the first film was painted on the
    back of the yellow and blue belonging to Max Rockatansky

    On both of my accidents I was wearing a fabric jacket. I have never
    crashed while wearing my leathers, so that proves they are safer.

    Well, yes and yes. I regularly ride in combats and trainers; admittedly
    on my K100 but as soon as the weather improves I'll wear the same
    clothing on other bikes. Despite having had three accidents in the last
    ten years resulting in a broken bone, it just doesn't occur to me that
    I'll crash...

    The main reason I wear leathers is the warmth.

    I used to wear two pairs of jeans though when it was cold.

    Accidents in the 80s... ah! gravel rash. Hmm... pretty much the same as
    accidents in the 90s... or in the 00s...
