Re: Moggy Madness!!

There are two tourers used in the video - the late one used for the driving shots, and an earlier model with no engine which gets dropped from the roof at the end (and gets run into by the late car in one shot to illustrate 'a little knock'.)

Re: An ( Auto ) Alternative Vacation In South West france.
