Met Corvette Guys today

[UncleSteve]

I ran across these guys on I-40 this afternoon. They were towing the Vette back to Cali. They were coming from Nashville, filming a segment for Spike TV.

No lights on the trailer, thought they might like to know. After all I would not like to see any ones Vette run over,.... scattered all over the countryside over a piece of wire and a 10cent fuse.
Looked at the trailer wiring and noticed the wires were wrapped around the hitch and were crushed. I offered for them to follow me to the house (we were a couple miles away) and we could fix it in a few minutes. They agreed and off we went, I think they had visions of the twilight zone. We are pretty friendly in the midwest, don't think they were used to it. Hey it stinks to be broke down away from home.
After the wire repair and fuse replacement, they were back on the road.
While talking with them, (Alex and Greg) I learned they own this web site.

I wondered the same thing. They rented the entire rig, I guess it was the best way for them.

I told them about the org, and said, some one on here would know them or the car.
Small world.

Alex said the first round was on him when they return.

Way to go, UncleSteve. Thanks for posting the pics.

They could use an enclosed deal as part of the racing rig with a car like that...road debris, weather, and theft would make me nerveous dragging it aroud the states.

They are generally great people. There are a few snooty ones out there.

I miss my Vette.
