MadMan, MadMax Or Prophet? Brit Bugs Out To Live The Life Of Gibson
Sci-Fi Odds and Ends — By endymi0n on September 2, 2009The question is, will Nix follow? A British man by the name of Adrian Bennett has defied his name and gone to live in the Australian Outback and I don’t mean the local steakhouse. No, he has decided to live out a 27 year old obsession to live the life of Max and open a Mad Max museum in the town of Silverton, way the hell and gone into the Aussie wilderness.
A quote from Adrian in The Times via Scifiwire:
“From the opening credits of the first film to the closing credits of Mad Max 2 my jaw was on the floor, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and I was totally hooked,” Bennett told The Times of the moment his obsession began over two decades ago.
He says it was “everything—the costumes, the characters, the location and the vehicles” which attracted him to the film and led him to a life of collecting Mad Max-related memorabilia.
Adrian has included his wife in this adventure and she is therefore the very vision of a wonderful woman. I imagine their previous life in Bradford, Yorkshire was a good deal less dusty. Adrian even has a replica Mad Max dog, named Dog. Adrian drives around in a totally awesome Ford Falcon Coupe and hopefully drives the speed limit. Thanks Scifiwire.

I would like to say that the man is nuts, but I can actually picture the REAL Mad Max, Mel Gibson, doing this, too.
