So much fun seeing everyone. Took a while for me to upload these as my computer had serious gas…
Big thanks to everyone who helped us out, but especially to MINI (SuperPrez Jim McDowell Pictured) for putting on such a great event. And to Reactor for keeping us, uh, well timed… And GO RIDEMAKERZ!!
Doesn’t Howie look cute with that Bulldog? Wait, which one IS Howie??
As a side note, I’m really surprised at how well “THE HOLLYWOOD CAR SHOW” has been received. We’ve gotten a tremendously positive response and tripled our numbers, so we’ll do our best to keep it up. Just wanted to say “Thanks” to all who’v listened!
As a second side note… My dog, Sammy has just eaten her leash off,… so I gotta go!!
YOU CAN’T ASK ME THAT!!!
Based on the photos, this new show coming from the Producers of “CHOP, CUT, REBUILD” and “STREET TUNER CHALLENGE” is the next BIG thing. Kind of like NASCAR meets DOLLY PARTON. Well, no. …Not actually. But would you believe, TOM CRUISE in a FAST AND FURIOUS movie? No? How about FIREBALL TIM and the crew saying shhhhhhh….. We like to call it “THE NUNA SHOW.” As in, Nunna Ya Dang Business… until Fall, at least!
As you may know, I like secrets. In fact, EVERYONE likes secrets. So, for the time being as we film, this is a superdoooperreallycoolsecret typa secret.
We’ll tackle small things like Area 51 and such. But no big deal. Oh,… and with cars, …duh.
Hey Gang! I’m the ‘blog dude for Fireball Tim and have a few updates for you.
First of all I’m sure you noticed the new theme. Smokin’ hot red instead of retina searing green! I hope y’all like it!
Next up is a change to the feed. For those of you that subscribe using an RSS reader, the feed address has changed and if you could update your reader it would be greatly appreciated! The new address is feeds.feedburner.com/fireballtim. Oh yea, the auto-detect works now too, so subscribe away!
And keep an eye on that space on the right. There is going to be some WAY cool stuff coming up there very very soon!
Ah, things to do on the weekend. As long as there’s cars to see and drive, I’m there. Just completed a deal with CINEMAVEHICLE SERVICES. Can’t say too much about it, but it’s movie cars galore. We’ll be doing some neat stuff.
And, as a side note, I’ve been asked many times to have past eBlasts available for people to check out. So, here’s the February GET FIREBALLED blast.
Boyd Coddington passed away at 6:30 this morning. He was 63. …Only 63.
Your time is limited, people. Only sixty-three years for Boyd. A man, despite his difference with people, lived his passion.
Get off your butts and live your lives!! Do what you’ve always wanted and stop making EXCUSES.
Rest in peace, Boyd. We’ll miss your visions.

The Fireball Homestead has a a new crew. Kathie and I welcomed into our House of Flame, two tiny 9 week old Cockerpoos. BUG and SAMMY. Huge car enthusiasts, especially movie cars. They like HERBIE a lot.
BUG looks like a little Cop Car and Sammy looks like a troublemaker. (They both are, actually) Flew them in from the Nebraska cold to California Cool. And they’re diggin’ the new home with lottsa sniffins. They’ll have their own book soon just like SMOKEY and BANDIT did.
When you see them at car shows, I hope you’ll give them a warm welcome,… California Style. Oh, and an email from a good friend of mine…

Trust me. This is the real deal. Thanks, all!
…Out the door at 9:30am today to head across town to Warner Bros Studios. Yes, the Batman Lot. Although, there was no sign of Batman today. Nor Speed Racer, nor a sequel to BLADE RUNNER. (But they were prepping TERMINATOR 4 SALVATION, but I can’t show you that..) Oh, and even the General Lees are off duty…
Point is, WB was a ghost town. With the writer’s strike on a full court press, the studio was void of virtually all activities. Bummer. Haven’t seen this in a lot of years. Way bummer because my brother, Ethan, and his wife Dee are writers. Good writers. No,… great writers. But, they’ve got to do what they’ve got to do and I support them. Even though I had to go onto the lot. My buddy, Ron Stansberry is head of Construction Services and I paid him a visit. Supposed to be a big layoff tomorrow. Grrr….
Then I was off to CINEMA VEHICLE SERVICES to check on the progress of this cool machine. Check out the before and after. These guys are good….
Then it off to my tax guy. But I don’t need to get into that… Talk about a bummer…;-) But, all in all, just another day in the life of dorkness. But, I do have a wee surprise coming tomorrow. Okay, a BIG surprise….
