I think they actually tried to fix it during the final cut...In the movie scene between the entrance and exit shot (when they show Connery and St. John in the car), you can see where they try to do a post-production camera rotation trick in an attempt to make it look like he actually bounces the car to the other tires…

Five reasons NOT to get an old truck:

I’m biased, but I like the Murtaya because it does something nobody else does (as far as I know): merge lightweight, powerful/torquey engine, and AWD. Not only is it a lot of fun, but the rareness turns a lot of heads, too (only one driving in the States, less than 50 in the world):

Good thinking—my lips are sealed.

Eh....Last summer in Seattle was great—I was able to drive a roadster with the top off about 80% of the days. And this roadster had no softtop—only a removable hardtop, so if you left in the morning without the top, the car's going to be like that until you get home at night.

61-70% Jalop....that's probably more than I ever expected to be (or wanted to be?) considering I don't like brown cars and abhor station wagons. BTW, nobody has ever written a book on my car and most likely nobody ever will...Next time we need a fourth option on that question.

I love me some General Lee, but let's try something a bit more obscure:

Was it the US Demo? I actually just drove it a few weekends ago after it was pulled out of storage. It was put together in about a month and then mothballed for a few years. The engine and suspension were actually set up pretty well, but the interior and exterior were in horrible shape. A lot of fun, though.

I loved the P2 and then fell in love with the Murtaya. The demo Murtaya AMS had was beat pretty well (it had even been crashed by an auto reporter, but the only real damage was some relatively small crack in the tub by the rear wheel arch). And I notice most Subarus tend to smell a little 'burn'-y....even my WRX…

AWESOME indeed! I liked them so much, I ended up getting two!

I traveled from Northwest United States to Cornwall, England for my test drive…It was so good I ended up buying one.

Planning on going to an STi vs. Evo meet with my project car, which happens to have parts from both STis and Evos:

There's a bunch of pics of it and other Murtayas on www.mymurtaya.com, too-

That's my car (not one of Simpson's designs). They parked our two custom cars next to eachother at the show, and that's how I met him.

Oh, wait...It needs to be for sale? Nevermind then. It took seven years to finally get together and it's only been driving around for a year...I need to keep it another six years to break even. :/

I agree with the kit car suggestions. In fact, how how about a car that's had its original company die on you in the middle of its construction, and you have to figure out how to get it shipped halfway across the world and finished? Fewer things are more independent than one person trying to get a car together...

Very cool. I was lucky enough to meet Jim at a recent car show and learn about his business and cars on Whidbey Island.

The rarest I've seen: there's only one Murtaya driving around in the US, four in the hemisphere, and less than fifty in the world. Pretty tough odds to see one
