Last night I watched "Lethal Weapon 3" on DVD.

In the opening sequence, Riggs and Murtaugh enter a multistory parking garage to attempt to disarm a bomb located in a parked car.  In the scene, near the boobytrapped car you get a good view of a W116 SE with steelies and hubcaps, in very nice Cypress green.

judging by the reviews on T2, the mercs must be the only exciting part in the movie  ::)

We went saw Transformers 2 too.  I wasn't disappointed, probably cause I wasn't expecting it to out do the first one but I did get a bit bored towards the end.  The kids and the Mrs loved it.  I heard on the radio that reviewers dissed it though it's making mega bucks regardless.  I hope they don't do a third, I don't think there's any room for it to work.

It sucked how we got there a bit late and the cinema was packed so we had to sit a row from the front.  I was so close to Megan Fox's opening scenes that I felt I should have apologised to my wife next to me for cheating.  ::)  And although I nearly had a seizure during the in-your-face flashes from weapons and shaking camera movements during the action sequences, I was close enough to recognise from the few mercs on parade, the all too familiar double stacked chrome bumpers of a euro w116 sheltering the good guys. 8)  Smart soldiers them ones.

1973 350SE, my first & fave
