[quote]I would have to Start with the TV Show, " The Persuaders" with Roger Moore and Tony Curtis with the Ferrari Dino 246 GT and the Aston Martin DBS. The next car would have to be "Christine" 1958 Plymouth Fury.[/quote] Hey there 'Micks' ... great minds think alike, as The Persuaders was a show that my parents did allow me to see, but mind you, we're talking 1971 by now ... and, I have the full DVD set of the series, 24 episodes in all. Strangely enough, I was drawn to the DBS, maybe because that was the car that 'pulled the birds' for Lord Brett Sinclair ... Danny couldn't really fit much into that lovely Dino ! I remember reading a story about the restoration of the Aston and it sports the personal autographs of both Roger Moore and the late Tony Curtis, which you'll see in the following YouTube clip. As for the show, I recall one of the classic lines from 'Overture', the first episode, where Lord Brett Sinclair introduces himself to 'the bikini girl' along the lines of "My friends call me Brett, but you may call me Darling !"
