Chitty chitty bang bang was built by a crackpot inventer that got his kids caught up with a kiddy fiddler that kidnapped them.

Daisy Duke might have drove around with her cousins pissing boss hog off and swaying her cute ass in the boars head but I don't think they were register fodder like Crackpott!

That’s just being mean,,, he wasn’t a crackpot inventor at all ,,, he was just mildly eccentric

And the Child catcher got his comeuppance and was a changed man after the electric shock therapy,, so there!! nur-nur

Your just jealous cuz the General Lee looks so gay!!!

In-fact I'm gonna vote for the Dukes of Hazard film in the worst ever movie thread.... so ha-ha

I used to have a model of that...... must be 40 years ago now

I forget the designer and builder`s name but Revell did at least three of his creations - the Pink Panther car, The Outhouse which had a shed-like arrangement with two toilet seats on a "box" (those who have seen basic country cottage toilets will know exactly what I`m talking about) and The Bathtub which had two upholstered baths for passenger accomodation and an upholstered karsi for the driver!

Actually, it appears that the cars I`ve described were designed and built by at least two different people.

However, Google Pink Panther Car and you will be amazed to find that it`s actually up for auction in the very near future!

How much can you afford?!!!!

Its the only Dodge Charger with 5 hub caps that I know of. Watch the chase scene and count them coming off.

The Charger was 440 cubic inch R/T with 375 bhp.
