Holley Fuel Pumps

This time around Lightning McQueen finds himself being thrown into the World Grand Prix. We learn early on that McQueen leaves his best friend Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) behind at home in Radiator Springs while he is out winning Piston Cup after Piston Cup championship.  One time fossil fuels man turned alternative fuel SUV Sir Miles Axlerod (Eddie Izzard) has decided to prove to the world that his alternative fuel is better than its fossil counterparts by throwing the World Grand Prix. Said Grand Prix’s aim is to bring all the worlds finest cars together for a series of races using his alternative fuel exclusively. Behind the scenes of the race is a group of “Lemons” think lemon type cars; Pacers, Gremlins and Yugos conspire against the race in a tale that could easily compete with any Bond film. Matter of fact Cars 2 features many elements that would feel more at home in a Bond film than they would a Pixar film. Those comparisons are further drawn into the open as Finn McMissile (Michael Caine) is investigating the lemons’ plan. He is assisted by the young Holley Shiftwell (Emily Mortimer) both of whom confuse Mater as their American contact at the Grand Prix’s first race in Japan. After McQueen and Mater have a falling out in Japan Mater finds himself mixed up in the world of international espionage and learns a thing or two about himself in the process.
