[TR] Cars in movies & TV

[Michael Marr]

Nope, you are not the only one, TerriAnn.  If you look carefully at that 
scene you will see that the same selection of cars are seen on parked on 
different streets during the chase.  They must have moved them around 
between takes.

I just saw "The Bank Job" which has an excellent selection of 60s vintage 
British cars.  And it was a pretty good movie.
