If this has already been discussed and I missed it, I apologise. But, I just watched the kiwi film "under the mountain".
If wasn't as good as the book, (The film never is) but theres a 120Y in the film, and near the end the young fela who's car it is uses it to tow a decent size runabout with it. (thats a boat for those of you who don't know)
seeing it on the slip way with the boat on the back reminds me of all the shitbox cars I used to see people use to launch their boats when I was a kid. (three guys sitting on the bonnet of a fwd mitsi, still spinning the front wheels trying to get up the ramp.
No trouble for a Y though!
120y's can!

Re: 120y's can!
You know I provided ALL the noise for that 120Y? As in it was all me in my Sunny.
Couple of mics and a couple of hours and thats what you get.
Proof:
Oh yeah, claim to fame!

Re: 120y's can!
I do vaguely recall something about that on the old forum Tony.
The film didn't do the book justice. But the car was sweet. I did notice the car noises were genuine datsun too.
