Need local race cars for movie scene tomorrow!

Postby Tim Comeau on Tue Nov 14, 2006 7:28 pm

A guy called me today about getting some Porsche race cars on a set for part of a movie shoot.
I trying to get him 2 more cars to be in Sorrento Valley At 11425 Sorrento Valley Rd.(Symbolic Restoration?) tomorrow morning around 7 Am. The cars will be there all day till dark. They will be used as part of the set, so they won't be driven around. I'll be there all day with the cars so I can look out for them. This pays $200 for each car.
Call me asap tonight if you can do this! 619.994.0919. He asked that we not include white cars because they don't film well.

Well, Bill Addy, Steve Gerken and myself added to the already starring role filled by Stephen Clark. At least our Porsches did. True to their word, the movie guys blew up and burned an unsalvageable 912, which was painted green to look like Stephen's 911T. It was an interesting day and I learned alot about making pictures while hanging out with some Porsche buddies. :D

Ah, crap! If I would have known they needed a Porsche to blow up I would have stolen Dan A's car and driven it down there. :evil: :D

Hey, that's the same machine I saw NASA using on that spec car that was found "out of compliance!"

.....just in case anybody has any ideas about cheating in the 944 spec class..... :twisted:

I'm not sure if anyone knows the joke between Dan A. and I, but I always tell him that when I win the Lotto, I am going to make him an offer he can't refuse on his car. Then, I am going to hire a crew to throw that thing into the crusher and force Dan to watch it smashed to bits! :lol: That might make a good Tech Session :D

I am constantly joking about his car getting crushed when I win. So 3 or 4 weeks ago I bought a Lotto ticket. The jackpot was 45 million. I didn't check the numbers for about a week, but I did taunt Dan that I had bought the ticket that was going to get his car crushed.

So I checked the ticket..... I got four numbers, PLUS the bonus number! I was literally one number away from splitting the 45 million with the winner. I won $1229! Not enough to buy and crush Dans car, but I bet I could have my pick of any 944 at the next event! :D

Add a zero to that figure, ding-a-ling.......
Then you'll come up with the same equation the rest of us have.
944 spec = twice the fun/half the cost

And you can't outspend me.....you gotta out DRIVE me. :wink:

Here's what happened to the last guy that made a threat like that.....
My organization made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Yet he did. Now, he's sleeping with the fishes...
