What bothers me is the way Hollywood generally handles a scripted
scene that calls for the destruction of some sort of 'Supercar'.
They go looking around for a relatively affordable but classy-
looking imported sportscar to [ blow up / throw off cliff / drive
into bridge stanchion ], and what do they come up with every time?
An E-type Jag! Every single razzafriggin' time!
I think a notable percentage of EJags have perished at the hands
of Hollywood effects producers... Never mind The Italian Job,
that was "artistically valid" <grin>, done by Twickenham not
Unholywood, and one of the two Es was later resurrected and is
merrily on the road today.
