I was able to view the Pre-release test copy of "Bullet Reloaded" for the United States. John sent me a copy to make sure it would play correctly on American DVD players. I'm happy to report, that, not only did it work on our DVD players, it was brilliant, well done and very enjoyable to watch. As Chris Turner had mentioned, the interviews, the footage, and just the overall amount of information about our cars, makes it the only source of it's kind anywhere in the world.
I was lucky enough to meet John and Susie during some of the filming in the U.S. Besides being great people, I admire and appreciate the amount of dedication that they put into every video produced. I was fortunate to see the filming of "The Mitty" at Road Atlanta with Kas Kasner and Ken Slagle and also, to witness the filming of Bob Tullius, Ted Shumacher and Bill Warner. I was there when Bill Warner started up the Group 44 TR8 and it was an amazing moment (to say the least)to see and hear that car fire up !!!! Everyone that was interviewed through out this documentary,on both sides of the pond, brought a personal perspective to the overall Triumph corporation and the "Bullet" project. More importantly, I was able to see how much John, as a TR7 owner himself, has the passion to have this remarkable story told by the people involved. He's even taken the time to interview some TR7/TR8 owners to tell their stories as well.
On a personal note, I too have the "TRIUMPH BUG" just like many of us, in our car clubs, on forums and web pages around the world. I'm very thankful and appreciative that it was John and Susie Clancy, with a true appreciation of these cars, that have taken on this task to document the legacy of these true "Classic British sports cars" and the company that produced them.
