 independent film produced by church group.

it gained some traction in sales and went beyond 100,000, i believe.

not as compelling in story line as some but the message doesnt beat you up.

the cover shows the WHITE TR3A like mine and I bought it as a collectible.

Amici...



I've not watched it yet, but...



My nephew was killing time in a shop in a Florida airport, when he saw this

DVD with a white Triumph TR3A on the cover.  He thought of me and bought

it.  It is called FLYWHEEL.  The panel write up says, "Jay Austin (tsk) wants

to sell used cars in the worst way...and that's exactly how he does business

at his dealership.  Promising much more than he can ever deliver, he'll do

whatever it takes to sell a car.  His manipulative ways permeate all of he

relationships...even his wife and son know they can't trust him.  But as Jay

works on restoring a classic convertible (the TR3A, I assume) he comes face

to face with reality of how he truly conducts himself."  I have to assume

this is a 'movie with a message' because it was produced by the moviemaking

ministry of a church in Georgia.  It has a favorable critique from Zig Ziglar,

a well known author and motivational speaker.  But for folks who are

interested in such TRIUMPH related items, know that it is out there.  Produced

by

Sherwood Pictures.



I am not sure when or if I'll get around to watching it.  #1 I'm getting

too old to be motivated and #2 I just discovered several dozen Betamax video

tapes from the early 1980s in the back of a cupboard in my shop.  I also

found an old Sanyo Betamax player/recorder.  Takes some fiddling to get some
of

them to play, but once I get them playing, they are in remarkably good

condition considering they're all 25-30 years old.  So far I've not found many

in

car shots, but I know why.  The camera I took these tapes with was HUGE

compared to the tiny hand held ones we mount on the roll bar these days.  In

addition, I remember that the power pack (battery) was bigger and heavier than

a car battery.  Great fun & memories.
