Well I've got an all new spotting, but it ain't pretty. I was watching "The Fog" (2005) on TV for a bit and I thought I recognised the car, so I downloaded the movie and indeed it is:

My car is now a professional actor :)
I had a bit part in a show called "In my shoes" on TNT, and they used my car in a hospitol parking lot scene. People were talking about it, and I had a conversation with other actors about it. I'll upload a couple pics I took on set (It's forbiddened, but :shrug: ) when I can. I'll try to record the show,too.

Here are the spy shots. I could have gotten fired from the set, and jeopardized my career :shrug:

This was the shot from the director's POV, as it will play on TV; Image

Here's from the opposite side with the camera and equipment in the background:Image
Filming is funny. Nothing is as it seems. This was actually a firefighter's training facility.

Photobucket won't let me rotate the 2nd one :x

:lol:
Everything's different on film. They were shooting from a low vantage point, so you couldn't see the lines.
You could watch them film for days, and not recognize anything in the final cut.
Some other fun facts; When you see Cheese on film, it's probably soap. When they're shooting someone driving, it's ususally a car sitting still with a bunch of dudes shaking it, and a couple more guys waving branches, and junk by the windows.

I watched "Hawai'i 5-0" after living there, and almost every time they would switch scenes, they'd be miles away. Like, they would go into a building, and exit to the other side of the island.

My car is going to be in the TNT show "Leverage". I won't be spoiling anything to tell you this; there's going to be an episode where they're going to be in West Virginia, and I play a coal miner who gets blown up in the mine. I'm the one with a grey hoody under my Miner's helmet, and a "Randy" nametag. My MX-3 will be in the background when I'm going into the mine to die.
