He did a fantastic job in the movie "GRAND PRIX" a must see for all racing fans!!!
And they said that he could hold his own as a driver!!!


James Garner...RIP!!!

I used to love doing the Rockford backward donuts in the snow in my 71 Bug in Iowa parking lots!!!

back in the day on the R.F., his in reverse 1/2 spin to going forward was all the rage. often times with not much success. 2 porsche quotes from the show.

"what do you think i am? some secretary in a mid engine porsche?"

jim's cute attorney as he takes off in her 914, "i hope he doesn't speed shift it into 2nd gear". sure enough, he barrels out of a parking lot with a fast push to 2nd with out nary a grind.

apparently he was a very accomplished semi pro on the track.

Apparently he cut his driving teeth up on Mulholland Dr. in the hills of LA. He is mentioned early in a great thread on the bird board about the road racing that used to take place at night up there.

He was also a scratch golfer... very coordinated dude.

And I'm old enough to remember his tv show called Maverick.

RIP Jim Rockford!

It was his lawyer, Beth Davenport, that drove first a yellow one, then the '74 (which looks to be Phoenix Red) on the show.

those look like 3 different cars?

side stripes on one, not the others
74 style wheels on one, and what looks like maybe hubcaps on another?
black painted 74 rear bumper with tits on one, chrome bumper on the early car

I stand corrected! If she was a lawyer she could afford 3! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Or maybe she did 1 year leases...

Years ago, my aunt an uncle were at a BBQ in Sherman Oaks, CA. Somehow, a spark from the grill had lit a lounge chair on fire and everyone was running around trying to get the hose connected to put it out.

There was a knock on the front door, and some guy said "I was driving down the street and saw smoke, and stopped to see if you needed any help."

It was James Garner.

My favorite actor of all time. Loved him in everything because he seemed so unaffected by fame & fortune. Rockford Files was great; I loved Noah Berry Jr, who played Rocky his dad, I was madly in love with the actress that played Beth Davenport and Garner's character was perfect....plus Angel, his sometime sidekick.

Back in the day, I used to hit the bar at Paradise Cove in Malibu where they filmed the scenes at his trailer, just in case he might be around. Sure will miss him.

I agree with his racing philosophy...quote I have no interest in straightaway speed, but in taking a thirty mile an hour corner at 29.9999.
