I know at lot on here, like me ,really look forward to the footy season to start , and especially this year , when there was so much promise in our team.
Well we all know how the year has panned out ,starting with Benji up for charges , massive amounts of injuries,Sheens cleanout etc etc.
It is so upsetting , cause for a lot of us the Wests Tigers mean so much, and we all hang out for the weekend game. It reminded me of a line that my screen hero, Steve McQueen said in a 1971 film , Le Mans…."Anything that happen, before or after..is just waiting".
Please watch this great video , wherethe origional film has been dud over with one of the greatsest driving songs ever ..Radar Love.....Enjoy, and forget about all the crap the Wests Tigers have been dishing out

A tribute (turbofan) video to Steve McQueen and RadaR love, suggesting you play it LOUDLY. Buckle your 4-point safety harness tightly. Too late to go to the restroom. We start our engines in 2:00 minutes ... the song begins later at 2:50 ... the video is 9 minutes 17 seconds, like a Porsche 917 ... speed ... racing ... life ... everything else, before or after ... "is just waiting."

**Song Lyrics -**
**I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says I need you here
And it's a half past four and I'm shiftin' gear\
\
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air, Radar Love\
\
The radio is playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's comin' on strong
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speedin' into a new sunrise\
\
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort comin' in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a light in the sky\
\
No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow\
\
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's comin' on strong
And the newsman sang his same song
Oh one more radar lover gone\
\
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort comin' in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a light in the sky
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love**~
lyrics and music written by George Kooymans, Barry Hay from the 1973 Moontan album. Radar Love was voted as the 2nd greatest driving song on the 6th series of Top Gear. About dot com lists this as the number one all-time driving song.

Le Mans is a 1971 action film featuring footage from the actual 1970 Le Mans. The film is today still popular among race fans as it is a relatively accurate depiction, a lot of racing but very little dialogue. Due to this, and the American market's general low awareness of the Le Mans 24 Hour race, it was only a moderate box office success. The actress playing opposite McQueen is Elga Andersen. ~ wiki

The Porsche 917K McQueen drove is now owned by Jerry Seinfeld. The alloy 4.5 liter (270 cu in) engine produces about 620 horses, 1 for every 3 pounds of car. Derek Bell recorded the top speed ever on the Le Mans Mulsanne Straight in a 917K @ 394km/h (246mph) running in top gear at 8100 rpms. The 917 models could accelerate at 0-200kmh (0-124mph) in about 5.3 seconds.
