Transporter III.

I'm sure there must be at least one French car in there but must have missed it.

On the other hand The Girl - there is ALWAYS a girl :) is interesting.
Not at all the usual chocolate box blonde but a Russian redhead covered in freckles and legs longer than the San Francisco Bay Bridge.
Cheeky with it :)
Excellent choice.

Bit of a crap film of course.

You were very quick to get those screen grabs Franklin.

I did see the R16 and promptly forgot bout it.
Genuinely missed the others. I blame the port.

Spotted this when watching one of my favourite series of films:
Image

A Xantia being knocked into by the Knight Bus in Harry Potter - The Prisoner of Azkaban.

Interestingly, when watching it I noticed the alarm sound wasn't quite right so I'm assuming (being a film) that its been dubbed.

Natalya Rudakova.
Stills don't do her justice, it's her cheeky looks and body language. A proper minx if ever there was one.

Right, no prizes for guessing who's soon going to be watching the Transporter series. I've got a soft spot for red heads, I get the idea that you do too Steve :lol:

Yes indeed - and I have 2 redhead granddaughters - my two elder daughters third child in each case. No other redheads in the family :)

Not just redheads though, Orientals too, just check out these musicians, especially Yan Yin, the Er Hu player.
