I love Mad Max. I like it when Max leaves Johnny chained to the car with an improvised firebomb and a hack saw.

And if you change the "K" in your nic, you are one of the characters.

I can't even tell you how many times I watched those movies. Although, I thought it was funny that people were driving supercharged V-8's in a fuel starved waste land. It also cracked me up that his supercharger belt and pulley were never turning until he hit his switch. Great movies though.

I heard somewhere that the Falcon in that movie had a Monza nose on it. Great looking car, I'm gonna go watch it now.

It's possible to have a switch on a supercharger, like on an air conditioner compressor. Hit the switch to turn the SC on, just like turning on your A/C. Your compressor doesn't turn either, until then.

Actually, Boss, the XB Falcon had teh nose from some type of van grafted on the front. IIRC, Madmaxcars.com tells more about the conversion.

Anybody see the XB Falcon 429GT that was on Hot Rod Television a few months back? SCHWEET!

When your A/C isn't running, it doesn't block the air intake like a rotary lobe compressor. I suppose intake air might make it through a centrifugal supercharger even if it isn't turning, but no way will air make it past the lobes on Mad Max's Weiand supercharger in "Road Warrior."

OK, your all going to think I am wierd, but I like the Lifetime Channel. I love the Golder Girls and the Nanny. Sorry.

I love all the Mad Max movies. I especially like the little helicopter with the boooooooobies and the dog that pulled on the bone to shoot the shot gun. Just good movies to watch on those rainny day on TBS.

Not correct, Spikedog. Haven't you been watching drag races before when they pop a blower belt at the starting line? The engine still runs, and pretty fast too. Just not fast enough to win the race.
