The
story
Op
26 september ging in Europa de actie-prent "The FAST and the
FURIOUS" in premiére ... een blockbuster in de USA!!!
Het verhaal gaat over snelle jongens met supersnelle getunede en
opgedreven wagens, die overvallen plegen op transporten en hiermee hun
hobby bekostigen : het streetracen. Naast een goede cast ligt de
hoofdrol bij enkele zéér bijzondere wagens, met één in de absolute
hoofdrol: de TOYOTA SUPRA.
Deze wagen is authentiek en bestaat ECHT, met certificaat van de
filmmakers.
Ondertussen won de wagen ALLE prijzen die denkbaar zijn én begon aan
zijn victory-tour in de States.
Op 25 september reist de wagen naar Europa, voor verblijf bij zijn
NIEUWE eigenaar, Fandango Event Worx uit België. Als organisator van
o.a het "International Tuning Salon" en de grootste open-air
auto-meetings te België is het duidelijk dat de Supra zijn thuis
gevonden heeft.
In premiére wordt de Supra, mét decor uit de film en 2000
gehandtekende posters voorgesteld op 2-3-4 november in de Nekkerhal te
Mechelen, tijdens het "International Tuning Salon". In
aanwezigheid van de stuntcoördinator en ook de vorige eigenaar uit
L.A., USA.
De Supra is te huur voor auto-shows in binnen-en buitenland, met of
zonder decoratie van de film, en zal voorzeker de beroemdste wagen ter
wereld zijn, na de Europese première... (In de States wordt de sequel
van de film reeds voorbereid!)
Alle info over de Supra: Nic Keirsmaekers
In bijlage, de indrukwekkende listing en palmares ... enjoy the ride!
