Round Table - Revving Up The MFU Engines...

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Driving cars on a television shows is usually directly related to the sponsors.  During MFU it looks as though Chrysler was the driving force (excuse that obvious pun, it was irresistible), which meant that the guys were in big vehicles that wouldn't necesarily have matched the image of a spy.  The best car was that little red roadster that Illya drives from time to time when in European settings, but why couldn't they have driven it in New York?
The UNCLE car was added, much to the actors' chagrin by all accounts.  But what if the sponsor had been Chevrolet or Ford; what car would you have chosen for our sexy spies?
My money would be on ...

1965 Corvette
I know the UNCLE car bears a resemblance, but this is so much better.

The Corvette Factory? Right here in Bowling Green? I take it that was before the sinkhole buried 7 very valuable Corvettes.

It was in 1997, when my husband did a swap with an Episcopalian priest in Frankfort, Kentucky for five whole weeks. My son was 10 at the time and so we did the Corvette factory. My husband, unbelievably, still has some trainers he bought at a shoe shop in Bowling Green. Whoa, sinkhole eh? Wow.

I have fond memories of Kentucky. My favourite place - the Shaker community (that was) at Pleasant Hill (have I got the name right?). A wonderful experience that has stayed with me ever since.

I moved here (the first time) in '97. Shaker Hill, yes I've visited there as well. A very odd little group who, predictably, eventually all passed away leaving only a legacy. I'm glad you enjoyed Kentucky.
