OT: Cool Video/Documentary (if you're an 80s guy)

Was bored the other night and was sifting thru the list of recommended videos on YouTube on my TV for something interesting to watch.

Came across a pretty-interesting video - it was a documentary of the 1981 movie "Cannonball Run" - more precisely the documentary was about the Lamborghini Countach used in the movie and the history behind the car and its original and subsequent owners.

I loved that movie and loved the Lambo in the movie - some things I didn't know about the Lambo:

+ although the movie came out in 1981 it was a 1979 Countach

+ the guy that created the tanning oil company Hawaiian Tropic, Ron Rice, was the 2nd-owner of the car - he knew Burt Reynolds as well as the director of the movie and offered them the Lambo for it to be used in the movie

Vid is a bit long but I thought it was very entertaining and interesting (if you were a fan of the movie):

    Great movie with a lot of cool cars and Burt Reynolds was the coolest dude at one point.

    Ahhh, Hawaiian Tropic.

    When I was 17-19 or 20, I was a pool boy at a resort in Scottsdale, and worked with a girl who had just quit touring as a bikini model for Hawaiian Tropic. That was such a fun job...
