builds a Pilgrim Sumo 5.7 Litre V8 Super car.Inspired by the classic 1960's AC Cobra, this kit car is based on a Ford Sierra. Mark follows the whole process from finding the donor vehicle to taking the finished car through the SVA test. From wiring to windows, welding to wheels, Mark covers the whole process with the degree of detail that viewers of these series have come to love.While Mark is not a trained mechanic (he is actually a qualified vet!) he has been a car enthusiast since he was a teenager. A Car is Born sets out to prove that enthusiasm and determination are the key to building your very own super-car for less than the price of a family hatch-back.
Advantages: A good introduction to Kit Cars Disadvantages: None that I can think of.
...It's 12:30pm on a Saturday afternoon and I am channel hopping the satelitte and I notice that Discover Home & Leisure are re-airing their series on building your own kitcar.
I have already watched Mark Evans build his car and a plane (subject of a future op.) but am keen to build my own car so I have decided to watch the series again.
Essentially, Mark is building a Cobra replica using a Ford Sierra!!
There are various ways of buying/building a kit. You can buy the bits and pay a specialist company to do the whole lot; you can buy a rolling chassis and have to organise the bodywork, upholstery etc.; or, like Mark, you buy a kit which comprises of the chassis, fibre glass coachwork, lights and all the gubbins like that, and you also buy a donor car which will provide the mechanical elements such as wheel hubs, steering etc. In...

...introduction to opera and Mozart, as it is packed full of his music. And if anyone says that this film isn't true to the play, neither are true to history. And besides, Peter Shaffer who wrote the play helped co-write the film. So I don't think it matters in the slightest.

If I've got you interested in 'Amadeus', the DVD has a few extra features. I've been searching the web and I can't find what these are? I only watched the DVD, I don't actually own it. All I can find is the two disk directors cut edition. But the version selling here is the single disk version. If I remember correctly, it had a lengthy list of credits, and some information about the making of the scenery. There aren't enough extras really, so I suggest the 2 disk version. What I really loved watching, though, was the trailer (perhaps I'm just sad). But having seen...

...Pixar's world where cars do the talking and the racing is turned upside down when Lightning McQueen is lost in Radiator Springs.
The plot of this film is , in my opinion, unsurprising, but it does bring together a diverse mix of characters. As with many [all?] Pixar productions, this is ultimately a feel-good movie.
There are elements of the film that will please different age groups at different levels; I enjoyed the film as an adult, and my children took different elements of enjoyment from it.
Finally, as with all PIxar movies in my experience, the animation, music score, and voice acting is impeccale good.
In summary, this is a feel-good movie aimed at older pre-teens, that has something that younger children can enjoy, and is so easy to watch that teens and above would find this a relaxing and fun film....
