i also used to live just up the street from where a lot of FJ Holden was filmed
The house in Strepham Street that the girl lived in was my footy coaches (from 1977) mums house and we had out christmas party there and a grl i went skating with lived next door (backs directly onto Picnic Point High)
we all use to go down Revesby Beach in the 80s (where they both sagged her in the back of the car) with all the vans and back them all into a circle of up to 15 sometimes
The old story to get a girl down there was to ask if they wanted to see the luminus ducks or the submarine races
Can you believe it actually worked sometimes
Oh, and then a guy i played darts with in the 80s helped with all the cars from running on empty (best movie ever) and showed me pics that he took of Fox, the XY and the 57
Then there's m mate around the corner that is a GM specialist whodid a 502 conversion on one of the chev trucks they're using as a camera rig for Mad Max 4
He also did work on other vehicles for thm as well
Got a pic of the truck here somewhere
I eem to keep getting linked in one way or another to Aussie movies
