Forgot to post this earlier this month. Anyone into customising probably knows the name.

His creations are legendary in the world of television and motion pictures including the likes of the original television series Batmobile, Munster Koach, Beverly Hillbillies, KITT from Nightrider and more!

Have to dig through my photos of when I went to the states, I ended up spending a couple of hours hanging with George in his shop. Really cool guy, bought an air con unit off an old guy who took me and my mate out to lunch and said, " I just gotta drop in to my friends shop on the way back". His friend turned out to be George Barris.

He had the original Bat Mobile the Munster Mobile and the original Knight Rider all in his shop the day we dropped in. I asked him, " hey George, how many cars you built" "I stopped counting at a thousand " he said says. What a champ, god's speed old fella.

Then a couple of days later literally knocked Barry White over at a big car show in San Diego, picked him up dusted him off and got chatting with him and he invited us out to his shop for a look see. Real nice guy as well that's where my avatar picture is from.
