And what a fine film it is too [img]images/graemlins/nodder.gif[/img]

Made the wife sit through it again, even though we have it on DVD and have watched it several times already [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/sloppy.gif[/img]

Does the S8 really sound like it does in Ronin? There are a few places in the movie where you can hear that fabulous V8 screaming, but have they enhanced the noise for dramatic purposes? Or do S8s really howl like that?

The Ronin car was a pretty stock 98MY Irish green with ecru leather. I have seen a few about in that colour spec - yes they really do sound as good as in the film and you just never get tired of it :)
