Seen it in the movies

This is probably old news but if not it may be of interest. I was watching a film called 'dirty weekend' recently and spotted an S in it! The reg was F128 RLU. Any body here own it? Do they know that their car is famous? Not a great film and not the soft porn that the name suggests. I only watched it as it was all filmed in Brighton and I live nearby.

A very modern car for it's time!
It was a mid 90's film, I saw it last night on the Sky movie channel (it wasn't the Lima Neeson film set in the 50's).
Nice looking metallic grey S that with black roof, I stayed up to watch the film in case it appeared again but alas it was only a glimpse in the first 5 minutes and never to be seen again.

Kantish - don't you think that this may be a little bit fanatical?
Just a thought...
And I recorded it too!
There were a few boring bits like when the nice blonde slid her kex off and got humped from behind by the fat fella
Then she tied him up and stuck a carrier bag over his head, a bit kinky that I thought!
Then there was the peeping Tom that she beat to death with a hampster (sorry, typo ....t'was a hammer) and she also drove over Ian McCallum several times in a multi storey car park in his own XJS after giving him a BJ, well she actually hadn't finished yet as he'd just stepped out of his car to take a leak, very considerate of him I thought!
Anyway, the best bit by far was the lovely grey S parked in the street in that first 5 minutes.

Can't believe they'd ruin a perfectly good film about a S series with that other rubbish, eh?
