The Highland Green
Mustang GT 390 from
the movie Bullit has
been named the all-time
star Ford of the silver
screen, following a survey
carried out by one of
the country’s leading
events for the Blue Oval,
FordFest. Ahead of the
Ford scene season closer,
at Santa Pod, Beds, this
the organisers ran a
public survey to find out
which of the famous Fords
of film and TV resonates
most with the British
public – and the star of
the show will be a replica
of the iconic Bullit
Mustang itself, alongside
its Dodge Charger nemesis.
SO LETS TALK DEMO CARS - WE’VE
SEEN DAIGO IN A LAMBORGHINI –
HOW ABOUT A FORD GT DRIFT CAR –
MAYBE FOR A FUTURE BATTLEDRIFT EDIT?
“That would be something wouldn’t it? BattleDrift was a blast and has done very well; it’s
at 8.7 million views and counting. The Ford
GT is obviously an amazing vehicle – it’s next
level. That’s quite an expensive car to hit a
wall with though! I don’t have my radar on
that, because I don’t know how realistic that
is for us, but that being said – crazier things
have happened, right?!”
SO WHAT ABOUT BRINGING
YOUR COMP CAR TO EUROPE AND
BATTLING HERE? WE’D LOVE TO
SEE YOU GO DOOR TO DOOR WITH
BAGGSY BIAGIONI OR EUROPEAN
CHAMPION JAMES DEANE.
“I’m always down to battle it out, anytime,
anywhere! I have a car here in Europe, but
it’s a demo car – the one I’m using here at
Lohéac. It’s not built for competition. So to be
able to come over and battle properly, I think
it’s only right that I have my competition car,
and competition equipment. That’s fair to whomever I’m battling too then. I’m open to it, no
doubt.
We’ll see though, if my supporters and sponsors want to see it happen badly enough, we
will do that. Right now I’m focused on Formula
Drift though, it is the premier drift series in the
world, so that’s where we will like to stay. I’ll
flip the question – when are James Deane and
Baggsy Biagioni coming to Formula D?!”
