Not what I expected but I'd still get one. Too many memories of watching "On Any Sunday" and I need something better than my son's Ducati shirt. :roll:

I guess I was hoping for a silk-screened action shot.

McQueen was bad ass, no doubt.

One of the best chase scenes EVER... (turn it up)

I have a hotrodded '67 Mustang, so I'm not impartial. :mrgreen:

Thank you, Stretch!!! That was awesome. I think they'd have a pretty hard time getting that into a T-Shirt though.... :roll:

Trivia question....How many VW Bugs could you spot in that 6 minutes and 58 second scene? Sorry, don't look to me for the answer. I just couldn't help but notice how many bugs they passed!! :shock:

Hell yeah. I remember when every other car on the road was a Bug. I think total Beetle production surpassed twenty million before the Puebla factory quit building them.

Ummmmm Tigers and Mustangs :love10 .................my two favorite things after my lovely wife who let's me indulge in my two favorite things .
I also have a mildly hot rodded mustang although it is a 95 GT not a 67 .
Puts down about 250 hp to the ground running thru 3:73 gears with a T5 tranny . Last year of the good ol american 302 V8

If you look real close in the bullet chase scene on the hills of San Fran you will notice that the V-dubs were used over and over during the scene , I think one shows up three different times in the chase scene

i actually like that shirt. i would bet that to the average person, its just another triumph shirt though. mcqueen affiliation or not, i think its a cool design, albeit a bit plain. unless theres gfx on the back they don't show. i do like the "distressed" look of the logo

and yes, mcqueen was a badass! :twisted:

it certainly looks ok from the front, my concern would be all the nonsense that's going to be printed on the back.

When I saw the way the back was to be printed.....
That's pretty 'chintsey'.....

Mushman wouldn't be caught dead wearing that!

I'll wear my 'On Any Sunday' shirt til it dies too!

I want a Bud Ekins shirt more than I want a McQueen shirt, even though McQueen was the absolute coolest dude of all time. But, that shot of Ekins jumping the fence has got to be one of the top 10 movie scenes of all time in my book.
