It appears their seating capacity is "about" 1571. So, there should be plenty of room for all.

I suspect everyone could be identified in the parking lot by driving a car someone may care about. Wait, that might not work either. There might be some camino's there that aren't a Jalop persons project.

Count me in! This will be perhaps the only opportunity to see my screen idol on the big screen.

CarDesignMike, are you still looking for a ride? I would be happy to help a fellow Jalop out. Leave me a message on my profile page if you want.

See you all on Saturday! Geez, I hope Redford is ready for an influx of gearheads...

]]> <![CDATA[Watch Bullitt With Us On Saturday, March 15th, 2008]]> Oh no! The Redford Theater is not in Redford. It is in the actual city of Detroit!

Actually, I have seen a few movies at the Redford Theater. It is always fun, and my car has never been vandalized. See you there!

]]> <![CDATA[Watch Bullitt With Us On Saturday, March 15th, 2008]]> When MAD_SCIENCE and I plotted a Jalop gathering at the L.A. Autoshow, with the Loverman generating a thread for that express purpose, I went to an office supply store and bought adhesive name tags. I put them and a few felt pens into my fanny pack, and crafted one for myself that said JALOPNIK in big letters, and a second line with my screen name. I wore it all through the Autoshow, trying in vain to find our agreed-upon meeting place (which we didn't know had already left the show!) Our group never materialized, but several other show-goers read the tag and said they enjoy the site tremendously.

So wear a home-made JALOPNIK nametag...

]]> <![CDATA[Watch Bullitt With Us On Saturday, March 15th, 2008]]> Damn. I really wish I could be there. A bit of a stretch, considering that I live in San Diego.

How about we organize regional Cinema Jalop outings? We could work with small theatres that would jump at the revenue opportunities. In fact, we could do one here in SD at the Mission Beach Plunge. It's a huge indoor pool that does movie nights and you bring something to float on.

C'mon Jalops, let's do this thing!

]]> <![CDATA[Watch Bullitt With Us On Saturday, March 15th, 2008]]> I saw this again recently on MOJO... it was fun counting how many hubcaps the Charger lost in the chase. I counted 6 lost with 2 remaining at the explosive end...

BartMack

]]> <![CDATA[Watch Bullitt With Us On Saturday, March 15th, 2008]]> Save the Enzos is the perfect shirt for a meet-up; bright, iconic, and uncommon.

I'm having a hard time working up the energy for the 400-mile round trip, though... hmm. Maybe I should throw a seat in my PCH and see if it makes it. Nothing like a mufflerless Pontiac 389 for 400 miles.

Oh wait, I already did that with another car once and ended up puking all night from CO poisoning. Maybe I won't do that.

i just don't feel like driving 4 hours and dealing with the customs guys

]]> <![CDATA[Watch Bullitt With Us On Saturday, March 15th, 2008]]> @HoserDave: It's the only winter jacket I've got, I don't have a whole lot of options here : )

Does wearing nothing but awesomeness imply male nudity? Charles will feel even more sad that he lives so far away ; )

Maybe Ray could be convinced to bring along some Jalopnik merchandise, seeing as they're trying to clear it out anyways? Nothing like buying stuff out of the trunk of a car in Detroit to make you feel classy... Wouldn't say no to a hoon of the day shirt in Large, I'd even cover Ray's movie ticket as an incentive (cheaper than international shipping...).

Don't brag. I'm leaving my St. Clair Engineering Class of 03' jacket behind. All I'll be wearing is awesomeness.

How many Jalops will use this as the first time to wear their "save the Enzos" shirt and someone not ask them what it means!


Hoser Dave

]]> <![CDATA[Watch Bullitt With Us On Saturday, March 15th, 2008]]> Looks like the ticket price on the website is $4 ?

I'll be there, and I may have 1 or 2 friends along depending on their schedules.

If everyone made up a nametag ahead of time with their commenter name and avatar on it, that would go a long ways toward identifying each other. I should be easy to spot, I'll be wearing a black leather jacket with "Windsor Engineering" on the back in 3 inch letters.

Also why do I get the feeling there'll be a hundred odd car geeks showing up in their sunday drivers/beater project cars that they barely got running for occasion. Which of course means drag races. It'll be chaos.

]]> <![CDATA[Watch Bullitt With Us On Saturday, March 15th, 2008]]> When this event appeared, I went to our resorts private theater, 13 overstuffed recliners and a decent-sized screen, and pulled out the Bullitt DVD.

Track 14 is the chase.

After seeing it, I'm non-plussed. I like the drink for every hubcap idea, though. Humorous.

Sign me up for Ronin, or even Transporter, for chase scenes.

Kelly

]]> <![CDATA[Watch Bullitt With Us On Saturday, March 15th, 2008]]> Here's an idea - - print a small pic of Our Fearless Leader and pin or tape it on your shirt. After the film starts, remove it and crumple it up. Then throw it at the screen en masse when Chalmers says, "Integrity is something you sell to the public" during the hospital scene. It'll be like a Rocky Horror-influenced Jalopnik bonding moment. Maybe.

Here are some swell pics to choose from: [jalopnik.com]

]]> <![CDATA[Watch Bullitt With Us On Saturday, March 15th, 2008]]> Oh for Star Trek transporter technology. 850-plus miles is a bit too far, even for a movie I've never seen (can't believe that myself). I rented the DVD tonight, so that problem will be remedied.

So, how will all the Jalopniks recognize each other? Maybe everybody should get busy & paint up a Murilee-inspired PCH t-shirt. That'd be kinda hard to miss.

]]> <![CDATA[Watch Bullitt With Us On Saturday, March 15th, 2008]]> That would be pretty neat, I've seen Bullitt at the Englewood theater in Independence, Mo; which is an old 40's theater that shows old films cheap.

Not too far away and it has a 50 ft. screen. It's nice that there are places that still show old films that would otherwise be on just the TV. Whole different experience.

You guys have fun.
