I’m a huge car magazine reader. I’ve been buying car magazines since the late 80′s. I used to read them to death. The older issues I have are dog-eared and falling apart. I used to be able to tell you what issue a certain car was featured and even quote the copy.

However, as I got older the amount I read dropped. I figured this can be attributed to having less time to sit and read. Now I just skim.

Went to the movies for the first time in a long time over the Easter weekend. My wife and I went and saw the World’s Fastest Indian. We both enjoyed it. It’s always good to find a revhead movie that appeals to the wife!

My favorite scene was on the salt flats. The soundtrack of the cars through the sound system at the movies was worth the price of admission. Add to that cool things like watching the main character make his own pistons in his shed.

Only problem with the movie was the poor New Zealand accent by Anthony Hopkins. Not quite there. Mind you I haven’t heard the real Burt Munro, so it may be spot on.

Anyway I would recommend it for both the revhead content and the enjoyable storyline.
