Ronin on Ch5

Post by ds21 » Sun Sep 20, 2009 9:31 pm

Hi, just flicking through the channels and noticed the film Ronin is on Ch5 and for those who haven`t seen it there is fairly good car chase involving an XM and Audi (I think). If you watch the XM does change series at one point.

I watched and recorded that, not seen it right trough before.

Yes i noticed the Xm had a Series 1 and 2 front too, although it always had the S2 rear spoiler i think :?

Good film that, i like the way the stunts and crashes are not all computer generated like films now.

Yes, in the final chase with the 406 and Bavarian Mercht Wagen, they almost head-on a grey series 1 coming in the opposite direction. You only see the front of the XM for a split second, literally blink and you'll miss it, but I do recall noticing that the last time they watched it.

Plenty of BX and Xantiae around in it too.
