Default Ronin S8 Video......I think it's an Automatic

Okay.....I just watched it on audivideos.com.....too bad it isn't higher resolution......

But the guy is driving the car and at about 6:28 in the video there is an inside car shot for about 4 seconds.

At first I thought it appeared that it was a stick in 3rd gear......then I figured it was an automatic in PARK!

What do you think.....just go to about 6:20 in the video and watch it......you'll see what I mean.....

Do you think he was on top of a trailer at that time or sitting still?<ul><li><a href="http://www.audivideos.com/Videos/Media-Videos/Media-S8%20in%20Ronin.wmv">http://www.audivideos.com/Videos/Media-Videos/Media-S8%20in%20Ronin.wmv</a</li></ul>

Default Here's a picture I found.....see it has the pre facelift S8 mirrors like I've got!

I saw three pre facelift S8's in Barcellona last April, that was the look I was going for!

Default In the 'extras' section of the Ronin DVD, the now

deceased Frankenheimer says all the driving shots were real and performed by some French F1 driver.

Default yep! and it does look like an automatic in park..

..and if it were a stick, he never shifts a gear.
And those indeed ARE the unobtainium mirrors.
Audivideos rock!
