Info to date would suggest that they have learned a lot from the success of the Burt Munro/Fastest Indian Movie. Not sure if Bruce was as colourful a character as Burt though, in fact I hope he was not. Both very talented guy's who achieved a lot with very little. While many of you guys will probably relate to his later exploits, I hope that they include a lot of his early NZ stuff in the old specials, Mini Coopers etc as well. The sight of those first racing Minis in action is still fixed in my mental picture dept, some 45 years on.
