I replied commiserating that the LucasArts lawyers were known to be bastards about copyright and they replied telling me it was the Haynes lawyers. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=52495#post-151107 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:26:00 +0000 CollieP 151107@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Put that in. Put "woof" in there somewhere. That's my input. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=52495#post-151105 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:24:55 +0000 CollieP 151105@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Woof </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=52495#post-151104 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:24:24 +0000 waylandsmithy 151104@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I've heard that they've cut a few corners though: the footage for the perilous synchromesh replacement scene in MGB 1962 to 1980 is highly derivative of the gearbox removal cliffhanger in Morris Marina 1.8 1970 to 1978.</p> <p>Several fans have pointed out the howling continuity error in 'Refitting is the reverse sequence to removal'. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=52495#post-151103 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 19:07:25 +0000 Gerontius 151103@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I think they had to put Collie P down Curbie<br /> Sorry, but someone had to tell you.<br /> But you are doing fine with this one....flesh it out a bit more.<br /> It's gripping stuff.<br /> I'll be interested to see how they get around that Grand Tourisme faux-pas. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=52495#post-151079 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:45:29 +0000 Curbie Firetank 151079@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Hot off the heels of their $4bn purchase of Lucasfilm, Disney have snapped up the rights to the entire Haynes car repair manual series for £759 following a fraught eBay auction earlier today.</p> <p>Disney spokesperson Achike Mawse claimed that they plan to release a movie for each of the manuals, and create a separate franchise using multiple manual stars in "The Haynes Amass" in which a Ford Fiesta, a Landrover Discovery and a Toyota Aygo meet up every three or four years to thwart poor maintenance practice by car owners across the globe, in 3D.</p> <p>The first of the manuals to hit the big screen will be a radical interpretation of the 2001 best seller "Peugeot 206 Petrol and Diesel Service and Repair Manual: 1998 to 2001". Director Lars von Trier has been signed up to direct, and is already agonising over how to overcome the manual's now infamous exclusion of 16-valve petrol engine models (XSi, GTi &amp; Grand Tourisme), and how to keep within the austere and very Danish constraints of the 'Dogme 95 manifesto'.</p> <p>Rumours that Kiwi director Peter Jackson has bought the rights to take Hansard 1876-1950 to the big screen in six gripping 3 hour instalments are thought to be wildly speculative and very likely false.</p> <p>(needs input... is CollieP still active?) </p>
