: to see "lemans." way cool! those 908
: flounders, awesome! man i missed everything
: being born in the mid 70's. i think i saw a
: jo siffert autavia on i think it was jo
: siffert, in the movie? there's a scene where
: a driver checks his watch right before the
: race.

No this isn't Jo Siffert (the person) but the character Lugo Bratte in the movie. The watch is what is commonly called the "Jo Siffert" though...

: is that him?

No, not with the watch, but Jo Siffert has a non-speaking cameo:

: also, was quite hard to
: find a good clear scene of the monaco steve
: mcqueen wore.

I've managed...

: i'm almost surprised anybody
: noticed it.

I didn't have any problem noticing it...

: not to wander too far from heuer
: discussions, but one other thing i've been
: trying to figure out regarding racing in the
: late 60's/early 70's. vic elford? is he a
: highly noteable/regarded driver from that
: time period,

Yes, very much so. A well regarded driver...

: like a jo siffert or pedro rodriquez?

Well, Both Jo and Pedro were very special. Pedro was one of my personal favorites, but Elford was right up there with them certainly a peer!

: thanks in advance, sorry to
: wander off, but thought some of you being
: into dashboard pieces and racing, might have
: some good insight.

Most of us love to talk cars too, and I'll talk LeMans the movie or the race/ Porsche 917's and or Steve McQueen at the drop of a hat!
