    Nice. I saw a rusty Plymouth Voyager on the road the other day. No, not the Caravan clone, the B-series Dodge van clone from the '70s. And in New Jersey, no less.

    Starting at 1:13, it looks like the Renault guy took a detour off of skyhill and thru Davidsfarm.

    Boy, the French version of Knight Rider must have had a really tight budget if they couldn't even afford the strobe thingy, much less making the car talk.

    The developers of the videogame Driv3r must have been following this movie. Weren't similar cars to these 2 available for simulated hoonage in one of the levels? Rio, IIRC.

    I'm mystified by the tires screeching on gravel. Ok, so I'm not, but it still felt good pointing it out.

    I'm fighting the impulse to play the Benny Hill "Yakety Sax" soundtrack along with the clip. Also, points off for the CX driver for having his right turn signal light on when he's squealing to the left.

    @Novaload: 1993-1994 Econoline due to orange turn signals and I think retrofits are pretty difficult if not impossible.
    Probably a 90s Econoline due to Club Wagon badging and when was the last time Ford sold Bi-colored Econolines?

    To think I took 3 years of Highschool French only to learn that "Le Car" only means "The Chicken."

    Damn public education.

    Did it say "LeJeep"? No, no it did not. Perhaps it should have.

    Well, I have a close cousin to this van, and its a 1983 model. It will be undergoing a cosmetic restoration this summer, and I plan on doing a series of posts about it.

    i have very little van experience... parents always wanted more leg room than a van would provide... we had station wagons and suburbans... but i don't think anything can beat the middle/rear seat leg room (not to mention head room) of some family friend's van(s).... (i'm 6'4" now... captains chairs in the parent's new yukon xl denali are at the limit of comfortable space...)

    okay, i lie... i forgot about all my time spent in church vans driving from indianapolis to where-ever... i was trying to forget those.. 15 passenger vans with 20 kids and 4 days worth of luggage each... crazy parent drivers passing rush hour traffic in kentucky at 85 on the shoulder... oh.. god... ***curls in to fetal position.....***
