...but you'll never be Steve McQueen working on a Jag wearing a Winchester Model 1892 carbine cool.

It's McQueen's Jaguar XK-SS, here it is being driven by Jay Leno recently:

Cool indeed!

A little bit of trivia. McQueen's model 1892 Winchester "mare's leg" was chambered for .44 WCF--commonly called .44-40 today.

The prop people on his "Wanted Dead of Alive" TV show thought that the .44-40 didn't look enough like a rifle round, so they set up his belt to carry the much larger .45-70 cartridge that was developed for the US Army 1873 Springfield. Hence, those big rifle cartridges on his belt are just for show and do not fit his rifle.

Gimmick guns were sort of a minor thing back in the heyday of TV westerns.

Cheers



Artillery adds dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Actually "Zardoz" was a pretty interesting and bizarre film.

I still remember watching it many years ago for the 1st time on TV. Only read "science fiction" and "Sean Connery" in the TV guide expecting a mix of Star Wars and James Bond. Boy was I in for a disappointment...

I was never really cool but I had an XKE and McQueen's leather jacket at one time. I was young and dumb so traded the jacket to a buddy for some work on my Harley.

Never got past the way too bizarre part to find it interesting. I gave up watching after about thirty minutes into the film.

In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Searched for Zardoz. Couldn't get past the plot summary in wikipedia and the IMDb board. WAtched a few clips but given the fragile state of my mind right now, I think it isn't good for my mental health.
