    ROFL, Don't mate, tehy'll call the ANTI-TERRORIST squad, who with nothing better to do with their time (and a lack of any real suspects) will lock you up for 90 days based on some concoction of a story (Probably based on some Home and Away episode they can't remember), then charge you and take you to court over it... At 7k a minute, that was good cash.

    Just an evil thought: who was advertising in the breaks? It wasn't BMW by chance? I only wonder becasue, asides from being a tad overdone (even with ATSC off), the streetside powerslide is against advertising 'standards' (in Oz there are rules about not depicting any dangerous driving (this includes illegal maneouvres) on public roads in adverts), though they seem to be being forgotten about these days. I assume they didn't pay you for 'product placement' though Nick

    They managed to not show Bee Ems sticker on the back window. My wife made the comment "even bad guys pay to go through national parks", one of the stickers on the windscreen.

    Nooo! I couldn't take it.
    1) Watching my car do that sought of thing all the time.
    2) If it was going to be there, they would have to buy it (not going to happen)

    FYI all the actors I met on the 5 days were genuine. Tim (Dan) is maybe more normal than we are. Rob (henchman) what a laugh, spent a lot of time with this guy. Terry (Dudley) full time actor - very professional - no ego though. Holly (Amanda) is probably more attractive in real life and pleasant to talk to. The stunt team - what a pack of lunnies, they'd just finished doing the new Superman movie on the Gold Coast and they were up, up & away. My youngest son spent time with Isaac (Ryan) having fun throwing his stunt double dummy off the back of trucks etc.

    Gee Greg, if they had let you do the driving I am sure you'd have made a clean getaway with the hostage... and the ransom would have paid for the next episode several times over.

    Still that's TV Soapies, they are never ANYTHING like real life!

    For those of us w different coloured E34s, should we get "Hostage on board" signs and jump on the publicity bandwagon? (Nice one) Nick
    the black E34 in Ronin blows up!
