Would you do this ?
Discussion
I have been asked by an agent of some kind whether I would be prepared to have my car used in a program (not sure what as she wouldn't elaborate).
It would have to be repainted and would be needed for approximately 2 weeks in October/November and a further few days in December for re-cuts.
It would be driven by one actor, who is not a specifically trained driver, on public roads that are normally open and for one scene by a stunt driver on closed roads.
They are asking 5 or 6 unusual car owners if they are interested. Thoughts ?

Maybe if it didn't involve painting the car...
They were in the process of making a movie which involved much fast driving over the Crown range, not sure if it got canned or what though, I heard they had Ed Ordynski (iirc) booked up for the stunt driving but were having problems getting road closures etc.
You'd think a movie shooting in a few months would already have the cars organised though...

Prior to becoming a bit deflated about the prospects of it being real, I had assumed it was more likely to be TV rather than a movie.
. . . or possibly a series of adverts for a pizza delivery company featuring an aging pizza delivery super-hero.
Hi Octane 
yes well lets not go there...
though I must admit I did find the bit in one of them with the two hindu boyracers in their Daihatsu Charade rather amusing.... "ooo, let us go to one hundred twenty pound boost! and five hundred shot nitrous" (I'll let you do the accent yourself)

Aaaah. 
A mate has just said that there's probably not a real job and she just wants the car on her books.
I'm normally the one who thinks that way. Amazing what a bit of ego polishing can blind me to.

She might have thought youre a bit of a hottie
Yould think it would be someone with say the calibre of Classic Car mag or Top Gear in NZ doing a show that you could consider. If it was anything less like a bunch of spotty kids doing it id tell them to FO. Anyway nice thought you had us on the edge of our seats for half a sec

It might be for the NZ version of "Get Away in Stockholm" 
Wouldn’t be much fun, “Ooo…he is doing over 150km/h, we will have to stop chasing him at these…dangerous…speeds.”
The fact his car is tellingly distinctive wouldn’t help much either.
But remember those speeds aren't dangerous if you're the prime minister running late for a rugby game - so all you need is one of the rubber helen clark halloween masks and you'll be set. hell, it'd scare the cops off even if they didn't know who it was...
I've heard stories from centrl otago cops about the guys on big sports bikes who don't stop, just wind them out to 300+ km/h and leave them for dead. Kiwi XTR2 said:

"No Honey, keep your helmet on, with the visor down. It's more . . . . mysterious that way.
Oh Stiggie . . ."
This is great Friday humour...keep it coming Stiggie
P.s. If you don't know her make sure you wear a helmet
Well there you have it. I can't think of too many things belonging to a guy that he likes being referred to as "CUTE".
The producer in looking at the photos apparently said "What a cute car !!!"
The agent has said that they really need a bigger car, and one with a windscreen for some reason. She believes they will end up using a 355 but still can't tell me what it's for.
