We were on our way to scout the DMC Show that we were filming on Saturday, so we took a detour because the event coordinators were throwing a Hot Rod party the Wednesday before just down the road in NJ.  Much to our surprise My Classic Car was filming this event.  I've always wanted to meet Dennis, after all we're in the same business except he is a blackbelt & I'm still waiting to get my yellowbelt! lol  What a great guy - we talked shop, cars, hot rods, shows, he gave me some tongue-in-cheek directing advice then followed it with the statement "but what do I know" and he even made fun of my little HD Hero2 GoPro camera.  He said your not going to film me with that are you?  Imagine my embarrisment Dennis Gage my professional idol thinks I film my show with this tiny HD Hero2 camera. UGH!!  I then explained that my film crews weren't coming to NJ till Saturday and I just always carry this little pocket camera with me cause you never know?  To fill my viewers in this is the camera we use for all the driving sequences and in-car videos, (its really a super camera by the way).  Even with all that he was still nice enough to give us a quick interview on camera, that really meant a lot to me since usually people in his position don't take the time out of their busy filming schedule to chat never mind give you an interview.  OK time to go off on a Movie tangent:  Filming Dennis under less than ideal conditions I felt like Will Ferrell's character in the Movie Step Brothers, he said in the movie that the reason he got Randy Jackson from American Idol to sign an unconventional item like his katana sword was "your not gonna not get Randy Jackson's signature are you" that's how I felt filming Dennis that day, it wasn't ideal because of the equipment but I'm not gonna not film Dennis, am I?  Long way to go I know to explain this bit but by now you know me.  So to sum it up; got to see not one but two great Hot Rod parties, filmed one for an episode of Vintage TV and met the MAN himself.  LIFE is GOOD!!! 

Note: Below is a picture of the camera in-question, look at how small it is on the front of the surfboard to the left.

2012 Mt Airy Resort Casino in the heart of the Poconos.  The event: Italians Sports Car Club's LeBelle Macchine d’Italia Concorso d’Eleganza annual event, many of our viewers stopped by to see art-in-motion.  This is always one of the premier event in all of North America.  Beautiful exotics from all the great Italian marques were there; if you appreciate fine automobiles and a special venue than you weren't disappointed.  Over the years this event has evolved into more of a European car show rather than just an Italian only show, it just seems to be getting better every year!  Vintage TV never misses this event, we look forward to it every year.  Check back to this blog soon as we will have more video's shortly of the shows coverage and watch Vintage TV to see there episode based around this event.  It's sure to be a good one!

Vintage TV will be filming on Saturday September 1st from 10AM to 3PM at the Dead Man's Curve Wild Weekend Hot Rod Show in Mahwah, NJ.  This will be our first time for this show but we decided we had to do it after all the positive feedback we received from enthusiast all over the country!  We have never had a show talked up like this before, in fact we we're going to film another show that weekend but then we switch gears to film the DMC.  Our Producers always say give the Viewers what they Want!  So everyone we listened and we're going!!!  This looks to be a Great venue, the grounds look amazing so this should be a super Hot Rod Party.  Also stop by to meet Paul Le Mat of American Graffiti fame.
