Rickshaw's Dragon on Chasing Classic Cars!

[snowtrooper1966]

Greetings!
Was watching Chasing Classic Cars on HD theater.
Episode was about Wayne Carini taking a BMC racing support bus he recently purchased to Cars & Coffee in Irvine. First thought was if Rickshaw is still going, and if he happened to see it. Within the first 2 minutes, there was the cleanest Dragon on the planet:

Sick!

Now is not only Gene famous around these forums, it's spread around the world! Too bad they did not have the insight to talk to him about the Dragon....

A couple shots of what the segment was featuring:

The show is on DirecTV, and will be rebroadcast this Saturday, the 11th. Again, the series is Chasing Classic Cars, and the episode title is "Road Trip!" on channel 281.
If you have not seen the show, I recommend it.

Congrats on getting your world class Dragon international exposure, Gene!
Best,

That little rod sitting in front of Gene's VX is pretty sweet too!
Congrats Gene!

They did the filming way back on 5-15-10. We heard that Wayne Carini was going to be there the week before and was bringing something Big and British. He ended up bringing down a vintage 1963 BMC Bus -Technical Support Vehicle.

Here are some shots taken on that day when Wayne Carini was there.

They have film crews there from time to time, last week there were two. Maybe because we had cars coming back from SEMA and cars going to the LA Auto Show. One crew was from Jaguar for the North American Debut of their Jaguar C-X75 concept supercar. The other crew did a interview of someone right in front of my VX.

"Some say he invented soap... and hospitals use his VX to sterilize surgical instruments. All we know is his name is The Rickshaw." :bwgy:
(Sorry, been watching a lot of Top Gear lately!)

[Riff Raff]

Hmmm, I've been to many, many car shows in my life; however, the provided pictures show hardly anyone had their hood's ("bonnet's" for CrotchRocket) up to display the engine. I find this very odd indeed.:confused:

I just finished watching this episode. Congrats on the cameo!

I love this pic. It reminds me of the song "One of these things is not like the others..."

Just noticed this... who was lame enough to bring a Honda Accord to this event? (It's silver and right beside Gene's VX.) :confused: :p
