Brit plans to open Mad Max Museum in Silverton

This bloke like the Mad Max movie so much, he's moved his family to Broken Hill.
"Adrian Bennett first saw the iconic film starring Mel Gibson when he was a teenager in England in 1982. Now 45 years old, Mr Bennett has decided to fulfil his dream of living in Silverton on the NSW - South Australian border near Broken Hill, where some of the series was filmed.
He moved his family from the cold climes of Bradford in Yorkshire to the Outback to show his replica black Interceptor, the car depicted as the drifter Mad Max's vehicle, and other memorabilia which he has collected over the years."
Full story here:

And for anyone interested in Australian Film trivia and history, here's a great website with all-things Mad Max.

The two cool this about this are: the XB interceptor and his dog Dog
