<br />January 12th was the first outing with Nate Truman's "Star Car" car club (<a href="http://www.starcarcentral.com/">http://www.starcarcentral.com/</a>), and it was a blast! It was an interesting cultural experience to stage in a Hooters parking lot and then spend all afternoon in the VIP section of a monster truck races, but everybody there really dug all of the cars! Charger Steve in San Diego (<a href="http://www.chargerstevesstarzcarz.com/">http://www.chargerstevesstarzcarz.com/</a>), a one-man star car collection on his own, set up this event and the Monster Jam management liked us so much we were back 2 weeks later!
<br /></p><p>Here we are lining up under the big "A" before entering the pits: </p><p>
<br /><a href="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270037.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270037.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>
<br />All set up and in place, we had 13 movie cars without any doubles (I could have easily made it 15 by adding some other Herbies). Beat that, Barris. Apart from the 18 Herbies at the Herbie: Fully Loaded premiere, I've never seen such a large group of movie cars.
<br />
<br />First in line (or last in line) was Nate Truman's 66' batmobile. Nate just took this fibreglass monster cross-country for the "Cannonball Run" without any windows, windshield wipers, A/C, or a functioning radiator!
<br />

Paul has a site at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/timecar">www.myspace.com/timecar</a> . Every crevice in this car has a neon tube or a flashing light, it's quite a signt after dark! </p><p>

<br />Lou Ciccari's Starsky + Hutch torino replica was detailed to a concours finish, and since Lou's in a wheelchair it's set up with an impressive linkage for all-hand controls. </p><p>
<br /><a href="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270049.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270049.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>
<br />Chuck Schauwecker brought this incredible work of art called "Rod Riguez", which hasn't been in a film yet but has enough hot rod best-in-show trophies to put any of our cars to shame. Fun playing "spot-the-part" on this car, my favorites were the spiderweb fender supports made from chromed rebar. </p><p>
<br /><a href="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270050.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270050.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>
<br />Oscar Verdugo brought a Magnum PI Ferrari, an actual Ferrari as opposed to the rebodied Fieros used on the show. </p><p>
<br /><a href="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270051.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270051.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>
<br />My buddy Jerry Cason's Herbie replica was in this group too. This car and the BTTF one were the stars of the show! Poor Jerry was pulling raucous kids off of his car about once every 5 minutes all afternoon!
<br />
<br /><a href="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270052.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270052.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>The bikers and VW guys all dug Horace, and the drive to Anaheim went just fine (at night was a little hairy though, the 6V lights are DIM!) </p><p>
<br /><a href="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270053.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270053.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>
<br />Charger Steve brought this beat-up MG used in the film "Norbit". I was surprised how many kids loved this movie and remembered the car, must be something about Eddie Murphy in a fat suit! </p><p>
<br /><a href="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270054.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270054.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>
<br />Indie director Paul Miller brought an evil-looking Mad Max Interceptor replica. Tons of fun, the "blower" can be turned on + off via a switch, a trick which the Australian crew had to resort to switching camera angles to accomplish in the film. Paul knows a thing or two about shooting car chases and car films, as you can see from his reel at <a href="http://www.paulcmiller.net/">http://www.paulcmiller.net/</a> .
<br />
<br /><a href="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270055.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270055.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>Another one of Steve's, the original truck from the opening chase of the recent "Dukes of Hazzard" remake which also serves as Steve's tow vehicle! Love the bullet holes and production damage on this car.
<br />
<br /><a href="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270056.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270056.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>Steve also brought his replica of the Rosco PD car from the "Dukes" TV series.
<br /></p><p>
<br /><a href="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270057.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270057.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>
<br />Bob Hartwig from Cinema Vehicle services (the guy who originally brokered my Horace car and its twin to private owners) brought this original General Lee from the Dukes TV series, which is the nicest looking original movie car I've ever seen! Bob looked like he had a blast powersliding this thing around the monster truck track when we were allowed to take a lap around.
<br /></p><p>
<br /><a href="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270058.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270058.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>
<br />All of the drivers except for Jerry. Left to right, Nate (Bat), Chuck (Hot Rod), Lou and his wife (Starsky), Paul (BTTF), Oscar (Magnum PI), half of Charger Steve (everything else), Bob (General Lee), yours truly, and Paul (Mad Max).
<br /></p><p>

<br />Before the show started Nate took a chance to mug up some shots with the Batman monster truck, who looked as star-struck with the 66 bat as Nate was with the monster truck! (Nate's wearing a cop costume because he noticed that it keeps people from climbing all over the batmobile at shows!)
<br /></p>
<br /><p>Holy Convenient Plot Device, Batman! The dash of this thing is an Art Deco masterpiece. </p><p>
<br /><a href="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270039.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc226/theuiga/Monster%20Jam%201-12-08/P3270039.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><p>
<br />All of the blinking lights on the BTTF car are hypnotic, you can't stop grinning.
<br /></p><p>

<br />Not Mel Gibson, but I loved the look of this monster too and couldn't stay away.

<br />Crowds arrive!

That huge mass of people on the other side of Horace are people lining up to take pictures of Jerry's Herbie!

DKP Cruise 12-2-07I'm really behind on posting photo evidence of all of these car shows, but I've been busy on YET ANOTHER volkswagen, the original Horace the HATE Bug (or, "Evil Herbie"), one of 2 villain cars from the 1997 TV remake of "The Love Bug". <p><br />At this point, I spent all of my time + money saved up to complete Herbie's restoration on the evil stepsister, so it was quite an accomplishment to get both of them running on December 2nd for Der Kline Panzer's annual toy drive and cruise:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqa7SrDTEzjn96kR7rujQHcmdJmUwphgiZ9-eSWYAld-nWpF1OnPL744GMKi-YCJNLqfLb7pWEo5iwghQ4tKwvoTTAOWV-HSyK_rVECqJwPPZrW2r_WMv_1M7bb9gnwIawapoVvpHu73U/s1600-h/DSCN0055.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5160752972722803186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqa7SrDTEzjn96kR7rujQHcmdJmUwphgiZ9-eSWYAld-nWpF1OnPL744GMKi-YCJNLqfLb7pWEo5iwghQ4tKwvoTTAOWV-HSyK_rVECqJwPPZrW2r_WMv_1M7bb9gnwIawapoVvpHu73U/s400/DSCN0055.JPG" border="0" /></a> <p><br />Good and evil, together in the parking lot.

I don't think he was quite prepared for the level of Herbie nerdiness he was to encounter in our questioning, and asked Jerry (a machinist) if he had ever kept any metal chips in response to our question if he had kept anything from filming. After that, the questions became a little less detailed!<br /><br />The fomer crew member then gave us the location of "Old Yeller" and the fate of the two Thorndyke (Buick Apollo) cars and wished us well on our way to the top of the mountain.Brian Uigahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06338294246419995102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164393160102055738.post-17998037788237769752007-08-12T11:05:00.000-07:002008-11-13T12:43:48.175-08:00Stop #15 - Wheelie in HGTMC<div>Most of the stops up the mountain were skipped for photos because the temperatures were creeping into the nineties, but we decided to stop at the location where the shortened wheelie car did its stuff in Monte Carlo:<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7xWktOA9okM-icA-ZeUdzJlA_wmVK54HyK-aa-7m3dN-jqkfMpKbVxPIx-TthVQfBi-_WobKpZY9CYLM5SA3eXIt-MPwNppVrHs4lgly45CX-E2Vcvy_0RTLBKTmQe_etoWdP-68o5Ew/s1600-h/MC14.BMP"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5097878598925887314" style="DISPLAY: block;
