Stinger390X Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Trying not to be too synical, the clown wheels have to go and the rear suspension needs to be dropped at least two inches.Then there is that yellow steering wheel..............................................There is a lot I would change if that car was mine!

Kavinsky Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Indeed but it is a thorough tour of a mcburnie, something most mv fans have never had the chance to see. I'd love to see the same sort of vid with jurrasic narcs car in its place though, which was alos red like this one when he bought it.

Not as bad off as this car, but in poor shape as far as paint and interior trim. But, very few of these cars have been well kept---or if they are they rarely show up on EBay.I can do a video walk-around this spring or summer. Might be a good thing to do, with a little MV Background music and the right titles.Got to get rid of this snow, first. What a winter. More snow in Georgia in a week than in the last 5 years total!!

CameraDaytona Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 This summer I will try to do a video "walk-around" of the Daytona Camera Car used in seasons 1 and 2. The car is pretty much as last seen in 1986. When Carl Roberts had it (after Universal sent it to him in partial payment for building the stunt Testarossa), he replaced the seat covers and door panels (with ones that were like the original) and made a few minor upgrades.

And, without going into any real detail for legal reasons, his is the only Miami Vice Daytona that still exists. The minor changes that Carl or the next owner made are not significant.CameraDaytona, glad to hear the car will be getting some fresh air!!And, anyone who has any insight into getting on a list for the new Bren Ten, I am interested. Can't do a boat, but I think I could swing a gun. JN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can smell 'em, but I don't understand them.As Crockett said to Robbie, "You did the right thing".I'm more accurate with a pistol than with a rifle it would seem.I remember in 1987 when a friend of mine from school went into basic training in the Army, came over for a visit in his camos, and had been practicing for months shooting and training. He invited me to a fun shooting contest with one of his friends also from school at a local indoor gun range. The winner gets a soda that the other two have to buy him.I won.I know he was a bit embarrassed, so I just played it off, as to not hurt his feelings. He was a nice guy.I hadn't gone to a gun range since about 1983-84, and still won.I actually used the shooting stance that I saw Crockett use on TV, and it worked really well for me. I can't recall what I shot now. Perhaps a 9mm, or a 45. I can't recall.I'm a good shot with a pistol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad everything can't be that simple.Course, shooting gets a little tuffer if your getting shot at. But, the stance Crockett uses is the same one I was taught. Now they teach officers to stand in such a way as to maximize the protection of their body armor. I still shoot the old way (old dog etc.).

Likewise, are officers more likely to walk away from a shootout as a result?I understand that it's one thing to stand and hit targets, and another to shoot at someone shooting at you to kill you.
