Trying to post pictures again. Let's see if this one works without the entire East Coast loosing electrical power? Dam Russians!

This pic is from 1971. American 200s wheels. Gold paint in the front nose. Mach 1 mirrors. "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now?"  ;)

-01107, a NY, NY, ex-Hertz car.



I ran into William Daniels, you will remember him as the voice of "Kit" on "Knight Rider",  showing it about 1981 in Katona, NY, at the annual "Light House Car Show".

He was with his 5 or 6 year old son and TRYING to explain what a Shelby was, that he and Garner used to rent them all the time, and that he rented one just like it when he would come to NY on business when he could.

Now he has a very distinctive voice and frankly his face is very recognizable. I try to be sensitive to their plight and not acknowledge that I know who they are. He wasn't buying that from me that day?

Maybe because I wanted to know why they spilled Coke all over the carpets and put cigarette burns in it too.

"Kowalski" (Barry Newman, from "Vanishing Point") was playing cute too, but he was more interested on why my license plate was XXX-869. He kept looking at my face and didn't recognize it.

He ran away from me too. I wonder why? My wife used to drive the car and when asked about the plate number would say, "my dog used to be a porno star".

Leno's ok with Kopec. Figure that one out?

Maybe it is best to get as far away from me as possible? Who am I to argue with that?  8)

At speed on the Okemo Hill Climb a few years back.  Finally made it so fast I'm scared to drive it.
