Star Cars crusing for a Cure! With a side of Delorians!

Well, OK, so I have a life, and blogging is not on the TOP of stuff to do, so sue me.  no, please don’t. But I am getting around to posting stuff about all the StarCarCentral.com events that have been happening, it was just a very busy two months!

Well this event got started without me because I have a JOB….   In the afternoon Dan and all the Delorian guys invited us over to the HQ to see them all in a row, and where they go to get their flux capacitors fixed.

Brian in the Horace the Hate Bug got there early, and took some photos for us to see.

After synchronizing their time computers, they all headed off to pre-set their cars for the next day!

Notice the EVIL Hate bug is parked in front of a hydrant!

Star Car Line Up!

Cruising for a cure, is the largest one day car show on the west coast, and I can’t imagine any bigger ones, as you can’t see all of the cars that are there as it is.  All to help find a cure for prostate cancer.  Great show, and free testing for cancer.    Thanks to Charger Steve, we got a great place under cover in the SHADE and so we didn’t move much once we got parked.  Some of the guys complained that they wouldn’t be able to drive their cars around, and after we got there and saw that we COULD drive around, we never did.  After about noon it was in the 90’s and the shade was JUST fine!

Load in was the night before, and I don’t like leaving my batmobile out in the open, but figured everyone else was with their expensive cars, so it should be safe enough.   (I also found out that if  you come late enough, pals will detail your car for you! Thanks Jerry and Brian!)

So here are some photos!

The SCA band of brothers (and one tolerant wife!)

SHADE! Thanks Steve!

NOT a Barris Batmobile....

Barry Meguiar of CAR CRAZY stopped by and posed with Lou, thanks Mike and his team for shining my Natemobile!

whats wrong with this photo?

Steve, Brandy and Charger Tots!  Brandy drove her Police car from San Diego!  Steve towed his General Lee!  We discovered his General is a hybrid, it runs on gas and push power!  

A little help? Guys?

Brandy's Mayberry RFD car!

Even though it was warm, we had nice shade, Linda’s lemon bars, and each had a good time wandering around when we felt like it, and answering the “five questions” for each others cars when people asked.   Next year let’s fill the whole place, and push those Delorians out in the sun!

Good news is we found a new BTTF delorian, bad news is he’s moving to the east coast!

But nice meeting you J!   Have a nice move!  Thanks to everyone who came and made it a fun day!

KITT knight Rider brought back to life….

Hey Star car fans,

One of my first jobs in Hollywood was a tour guide at Universal studios, and for a short time I was also the voice of KITT on the back lot in the early eighties while the show was still in production.

Well

years go by, and I sit my son in the same car at Universal, with some other guy doing the voice of KITT but I was on a quest to get the TV batmobile, so it was just a fun memoriy to sit in KITT again, this time witn my little boy.

Well that boy if off to college now and I have had my tv style batmobile for almost 10 years,

and I needed a new daily driver to get me to work and back. I figured, hey, why not a KITT? It has lots of stuff my batmobile doesn’t that I want in a daily driver like A/C, windows, a roof when it rains, wiper blades when it rains, a lower profile so people don’t wave and take your photo so much, A/C, vents, A/C did I mention Air Conditioning? and a ROOF? Anyway, after much negotiation, KITT is now in my backyard with my batmobile, and they are getting to know each other.

I am working my way through all the Knight Rider Episodes looking for details, and discovering that they were very fast and loose with dashes and panels so making an accurate KITT is impossible, as even the screen used cars weren’t the same from show to show, and often even used two cars in the same episode that had different dashes!

My son got a little bigger since the last time he sat in a KITT!

A few wires to figure out and trouble shoot before kitt is back on the road….

This KITT was built by Dan Morgan “Knight” in the 90’s, about when I was building my batmobile, then it made it’s way to California and to the SCA thanks to Jason “Knight”.

So with the help of a F.L.A.G. operative Alex, KITT should be on the road soon! (Foundation for Law and Government, for those who aren’t fans of KR! )

Now if you are in southern California this weekend the Star Car Association will be at the Pumpkin Festival in Calabasass http://www.calabasaspumpkinfestival.com/FestivalEntertainment08.htm

come by and say HI to some new members and our new SCA KITT OWNER, Alex! Also the DEATHRACE hero Mustang will be making it’s first appearance with the SCA!!

So how will I get my new car around the Batmobile, and the minivan to get to work?

That’s easy, just like THIS!
