Vinnie Jones and Sagaris

[optimal noise]

Just come back from the Galleria shopping centre in Hatfield, whilst parking up a guy came over and started talking about the car.

He was part of a crew that was doing some film work at the seen and said he'd just been working on a film with Vinnie Jones that featured a black Sagaris in it.

Anyone else know anything about this, sounds quite interesting.

Its Dom from Power's Sag, the film's called The Heavy, and its got Vinnie Jones in it! They apparently wanted to blow the doors off and all sorts but were told flat out no by Dom!

Strange, he was in Swordfish as well - the only two proper films I've heard of with TVRs in... maybe he's a fan!

Hmm not sure what Dom's is, but I know it has the letters DOM in it, and its an old style black plate with silver writing IIRC

Doesnt sound like Vinnie

Wouldn't have been today. A work collegue was getting his car set up on a rolling road down London way and Vinnie was there in a big, black range rover. Big mates with the owner apparently.

That film has 'straight to DVD' written all over it!

But the really annoying part in Swordfish was the chase where the FBI/Cops in over sized 4x4s are chasing John Travolta in the Tuscan and are keeping up with him - as if.

[Whitey]

at least they kept the Tuscan engine noise and did not dub a V8 over it like the loony tunes tuscan

There was a Tuscan very briefly in XXX, and also in that Michael Jordan Warner Brothers cartoony thing (Space Jam?).

It was the handbrake turns too. As if you could get a TVR handbrake to lock the rear wheels

There was also a brief clip of a black (I think) Tuscan in The Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift.

Wonder if Vinnie will be smash a skull with the door of the Seggy? And which will break first?

Yes you can - If I brace both feet against the dash and pull the handbrake with both hands.

You can if you know what you are doing...

Did you see the Top Gear video of Tiff driving it in USA? There were some extra gizmo's attached to make the acrobatics easy!
