The art of being cool

What makes McQueen even cooler after seeing this photo is that he drank Lucky Lager, an extremely underrated budget supermarket beer when he could have been drinking Stella Artois.

Always thought James Garner a cool dude, did all his own driving in the 1966 movie 'Grand Prix' was on a David Frost show once and blitzed the (at the time new) 'video game' Indy 500'.

I have seen the car chase in bullitt heaps of times never watched the movie all the way through, I worked for Ford PD at their proving ground for 19yrs and they used the car chase many times to motivate us at the monthly pep talk, all it did was make us go out and give the then current crop of cars a good thrashin who gets to do 260km/hr on a 5km oval track and get payed for it, I sometimes miss that place.
