Motive mag is an automotive website with cool articles, fresh news and an excellent graphic design. Actually that’s the first thing that came to my mind when I went there. It’s a nice change compared to some of the most popular car websites… you know which ones I’m talking about.
One of their guys, Jay Lamm, went up to San Francisco with a 2008 Bullitt Mustang to recreate the chase, and tells you all about it, with maps, pictures and witty words.
“In “Bullitt,” every vista showed a traffic-free hairpin or long lonely straight, as if San Francisco was like Spa with a few extra bagel shops. In reality, this city is a muscle-car driver’s Sodom: A rat’s-nest of one-way alleys and narrow streets clogged with tour buses, blind hills, double-parked taxis, kamikaze meter maids, and the stoniest, most confounded, hill-stallin’-est, Beetle-shod locals this side of Missoula.
Worse yet, the movie’s chase route is hardly contiguous — it covers a half-dozen neighborhoods and hundreds of backgrounds, some of which aren’t even there anymore. The old car wash near Army Street where the whole sequence started? That’s a McDonald’s now.”
You know you want to read the whole thing now. It’s right
