    Wow, thanks Murilee. One of my favorite movie makers of all time, on the Jalop. Seems Tati both loved cars and was completely baffled by car culture. It is not the crash scene that gets me most though, it is showing all the niftiness of the prototype to the police, yet not driving it to the show

    @Akbar Biberkopf: You mean this clip?


    Although not Tati's best (My favorite is Playtime) It has some great moments.

    Especially the Auto show scenes are memorable.

    We see more than only Citroëns, DAFs and a Mini Clubman.

    I saw:

    Fiat 850

    DAF 44

    DAF 33

    VW 1200

    VW Variant 1600

    Opel Admiral 2,8

    Mercedes Benz 250?

    Opel Kadett

    Citroën DS

    Peugeot Break

    Mini Clubman

    Citroën 2CV

    Citroën Dyane

    Simca?

    Ford Cortina

    Fiat 125

    Opel Record

    Peugeot 404

    Renault 4? in truck

    Morris Minor


    All of them beaten up on a Dutch intersection, these drivers must have been smoking some weed.

    Don't let Dan Brown pull the wool over your eyes: "Belgium" isn't a real place at all, it's just a very bad curse word.

    Crack pipe either way.


    The Siata, though, is worthwhile hell - well, it would be, if you could find an English-speaking parts dealer. Or any parts dealer at all, for that matter.


    VW with a plywood body? Easy. Even if they want 900E too much for it.

    I thought the Sciatica was painful to look at--what is that, a frigging firetruck front clip on an MG?--but the yellow thingie isn't even a car. No way it got 20,000 FEET on it, never mind kilometers. 20 kilos maybe.


    The condition is "gebruikt"--which means, roughly, "clumsily built of wrong ruined trash by a perceptually impaired lunatic whose reach exceeded his grasp--of automobiles, style, design, fabrication, aerodynamics and common sense."
