I just love this thread as I'm as guilty as the next nitpicker for shouting at the t.v. screen about film/t.v. makers who can't be bothered to try and get stuff right.
I might be regarded as even sadder being the owner and restorer of a 1942 'jeep'.
So many films, American and British will use the French built Hotchkis version when there are so many sad git enthusiasts like myself who would die to get their 'correct for the film' vehicle shown in a film. My wife threatened to stab me the next time I bring her attention to the fact that it's obviously a late 1960's jeep being driven by our hero as can be seen by the fact that it has the wrong wheels/hubs etc. I could go on, but I think I hear her coming up the stairs!!
p.s. what about Me 108's for 109's....
