Besides the famous chase scene in Bullitt I do not think I've ever seen a Steve McQueen film (I can hear the gasps from here). I guess I really should - it seems every guy over 60 thinks he was the coolest in all the world. A "man's man" whatever the hell that means.

I watched the 'Le Mans' film in full for the first time only about 3-4 years ago, the 'Great Escape' I would have seen many times at Christmas as a child, I'm sure it was on again this year.

I still have mine from Ineos, brand new and unworn and unsold. No one really wants them unless they are free it seems.

Are you selling it? What size? Trialmaster or Fieldmaster?

I have one of the "heavy as" folding bikes Peugeot threw in with each purchase of their wagons.
It's pretty cool, and if anyone accuses me of riding a girly bike, well Steve used one as his pit bike in the making of the Le Mans movie.
P.S. if anyone has a roadgoing Porsche 917 F/S, I could be interested.

Where’s the picture of you riding that bad boy in a pair of slacks and no shirt, @Tazzieman?

Great jacket. Had the same experience with the first one being very small. Exchange was easy - no issues.
