Steve,
Our baby sitter bailed out on us so we could'nt see the opening night. We
consoled ourselves(yes, my wife actually likes Austin Powers and she usually
does not go in for the Airplane, Hot Shots, etc. type of movie)
by watching the first edition at home. Funny thing is, every time I watch it,
the idea of painting my car union jack style fleets through my mind for more
than a minute. I usually snap out of it when I think of how many wrecks for
which I'd be responsible. My wife, although, has threatened on more than one
occasion to get me a tag saying "OBehave". I'll have to watch it agian now that
I know theres a TR4 in it(I guess at the beginning). I remember seeing one or
two I could not ID but never noticed a TR4.
