The World's Fastest Indian

Friend of mine reminded me recently of this film, which I saw at its opening night IN Invercargill. I cant see the film without crying... the wide roads and 50s suburban streetscapes... wow. Anthony Hopkins. And Burt Munro. My father in law's grandfather used to race with him - this crazy old guy who lived in a shed on a suburban block and just loved to ride bikes really fast and to flirt with the ladies, even when he was long past pensionable age. So there's two blokes Mikko would have wanted to be, if he'd made it to 68, and "evil uncle Mikko" status...
