15mins of fame

[crash712us]

15mins of fame, well thats how the old adage goes any way. Last week was out in California on vacation, and we had just left Universal Studios and where walking down the street in Universal City and was approach by a man that identified himself as a produce for the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He asked where we where from and what we did, and I guess from us all being from out of town had its appeal to him. He said great! and ask us if we wanted to be on the show that they where getting ready to film a episode of Jay Walking. So of course I could not pass up the opportunity and said yes as well did my brother.

So if you want to see your fellow forum member make a fool of himself, I was told it will air January 9th.

My wife,daughter,Jay and myself.

That's really cool!  Maybe you'll get "discovered"!

Did you ask Jay of he had an SHO in one of his warehouses full of cars?  That's awesome.  Hopefully you got some of the questions right.

Yea, that is pretty cool.....

I wonder if Jay autographed the hood of your SHO, how much it would've increased in value?

That would be awesome.

I don't know about you, but having Jay Leno show me his car collection is on my bucket list. What's so cool about Jay is that he likes to get his hands dirty and actually work on his cars.

Respect!!!

Funny you should ask, I know for  a fact he has a SHO, he has had it for years. It's a SHO-Gun

Quicksilver....Thanks for reminding us how much can be done with so little!  A landmark car with a SHO engine.

Here's an article on his 1989 300HP Ford Festive SHOgun with NOS  for those interested.

Great photo with the fam, Crash!  Leno always had a soft spot for the SHO   Don't know if he keeps up with the current gen, but I think he'd be pretty happy to have one of these too!

BigMac: You can put the 19th in your agenda, but if you want to see Chris, put the 9th

Chris: Very nice my friend!!! At first I thought you were joking and that you made that all up and went to a wax museum lol.
Please recall us the day before to make sure we don't miss you.
Cheers and Happy Holidays to all!

No wax museum, a buddy of mine said same thing. I pointed out the lights and the sound boom. Also here a pic of my bro and his wife.

I'll make sure I post a reminder. I better put on my calendar as well with my memory.

Did you at least get to tell Jay you were a car guy?

I did Mark, while our off camera banter was very brief. He ask where I was from and what I did for a living, I told him I was big fan of his garage youtube channel.
