I don't know Larry personally but it's a legit offer to him for some kind of limited use of my car in connection with the show (e.g., a ceremonial escort or arrival event, etc.). Besides at least two other restored CHP Mustangs that I know of in SoCal, I can also help recruit other vintage CHP and police/emergency vehicles as entrants for the show. Might be a nice tie-in with the Bullitt and PD event themes.

Hmm, another tie-in would be a SFPD squad car from that time period...and then there is the Cadillac ambulance seen in the movie transporting the deceased witness. I know, its a long shot...

I guess we will take up a bail collection just in case....

We are after all driving two through two thirds of the US and passing through some small towns along the way....

Should we warn them?

H*ll, yes!

McQueen trivia question

Have BULLITT will travel said:
I'm going to ask Chad if I can wear his dad's BULLITT Jacket,
the one Steve wore in the movie ... wish me luck !

on your six ... DHG 1005

Here we go: what size jacket did Steve Mcqueen wear? He is larger than life; but anyone know Steves actual height and weight? (circa 1968)

That would be cool Michael. It would change up the Bullitt Parade Sat. morning, but instead we could just all pile in the shuttle and breeze right into the show! No waiting in line or nuthin'! Awesome! Hope this works out. Hmm, but it may have an effect on the parking lot party later Friday.... no cars to sit by with trunks open... hmm...

hmm... no parking lot burnouts

Meh, I'm not so hot on the idea of giving up the drive into the show. For me that's always been one of the highlights of the whole trip down there. I'll pass on the shuttle thanks and join anyone else who wants to do it the old fashioned way.

:dhg08oOOOOOOO

Mike, I kinda feel the same way. Part of the attraction is seeing (and hearing) a large group of muscle cars arriving in mass. After all, Bullitts are the star attraction for this show. Based on previous experiences at the Boys Republic, I think the boys enjoyed watching this procession. Kinda like the Rose Parade. While you can walk around and see the floats before and after the parade its not the same as watching them move by. Afterall, our Bullitts are driving machines.

Super glad you made it to Albequerque safely, AND that the trailer has a spare tire again.

Keep us informed of your progress back to Canada...inquiring minds wanna know that you make it home safely.

Including your special cargo...:wink:

Mike, can you post the winners of the trophies from the Bullitt classes. Also do you have the numbers and breakdowns of Bullitts displayed at the event? Sorry if you already posted, just let me know...

And thanks for a job well done.
