In 1980 I was 16 years old. I couldn't wait to see Mad Max after having seen the previews
for it on TV. I was just getting into cars and this was the kind of movie I was looking for. I didn't really understand at
the time what the movie was about before I saw it, I just knew there were fast hotrods!
Not knowing that the movie was filmed in Australia I was not expecting the steering wheels
in the cars to be on the right side of the car instead of the left. This was odd so I thought all these cars were specially
made for the film and I figured it was just part of the story. I tried to identify the cars but couldn't put my finger
on them. Then I wondered about just how they got the steering wheel on the other side.
Another curious thing was that the hotrods were 4-door sedans. It didn't occur to me that
they were cop cars so of course they would have 4 doors, but I just never thought of a 4-door hotrod. In the US that was practically
unheard of.
