A few local things to do. On Saturday at Northpark Mall from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the River Valley Classics are going to host a cruise-in. I also heard there's a car show in Buffalo, but didn't get any more details.
There's a lot of rumors around about new cars coming soon. From Ford, the Shelby GT is coming out due to consumer approval of the Hertz GT. Both are supposed to put out 320 horsepower.
Also from from Ford the sale of Astin Martin is supposed to happen at any time. From GM, Impala is slated to make a big comeback in 2010 as a rear-wheel-drive, V-8 powered touring sedan. The only Mopar rumor is more of a question; why not make a covertable Challenger?
Tales of the Rat Fink, the semi-autobiographical story of Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, will soon be available on DVD
Tales of the Rat Fink, the semi-autobiographical film about Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, will come to DVD October 31 after finishing its run of art houses and film festivals.
The movie, which we told you about back in February, premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, March 10-12. Ron Mann, director of 1988’s Comic Book Confidential, along with a few lesser-known films, directed Tales. John Goodman voiced Roth in the mostly animated film, while an eclectic rogues' gallery that includes Ann-Margret, the Smothers Brothers, Jay Leno, Tom Wolfe, Robert Williams, Billy Gibbons and Matt Groening rounds out the list. Roth reportedly told Goodman before he died that he would one day portray the Rat Fink.
For Roth fans who can’t wait until Halloween to see the film, it will play at the Woodstock, New York, film festival October 12 and at The Ridge in Vancouver, British Columbia, October 27. For info go to website.
