[Mgs] My car, the movie star

[Matt Trebelhorn]

Last weekend, some friends of my wife were in a contest called the 48  
Hour Film Project.  On Friday night, you're assigned a genre in which  
to work, and on sunday night there's a screening/competition.  They  
were assigned "horror".  This is more of a psychological thriller --  
no blood and guts, just, uh, shadow puppets.  But whatever.

We had offered our cars, and on Friday night they asked to use my  
1970 MGB.  I got up at about 6 on Saturday morning and spent 3 hours  
washing and waxing the car, then drove 100+ miles to the shoot  
location.  In retrospect, I should have spent some time on adjusting  
the valves, because the car sounds pretty clatter-y.

Anyway, here's the resulting movie, posted by the director:

I think the car looks good, anyway.  Oh, and as the car drives away  
from the camera, they cut just before the actress driving the car  
tries to shift into reverse.  Two or three times.
