yes, he is a legend and getting old, 87, but still sharp as a tack and full of stories about famous people and cars. I have been out to dinner one on one with the man and very interesting guy. They will try to have the original 66 Batmobile there also, but do to Warner Bros still having rights to the car its up in the air.

I'm a little older than that but still a kid at heart. Thing is I got to drive it ! Don't tell anybody but would rather drive a FFR.
