Well the time came and went, and as expected, I was brilliant...at least that is how I chose to see it. (If you feel otherwise feel free to keep it to yourself, it's not easy keeping a swelled head like this, and I wouldn't want you messing that up for me!)We made the show, and what a show it was! Dave ( @Miradart ) started out with a bit about what's going on in the auto world around us, followed up by some chat about Carroll Shelby and of all things....his deodorant....that's right he had one named after him. Pit-Stop. Brilliant advertising put it into every household around....wait a minute, that would be old spice wouldn't it...lol

Following that bit of great reporting that you only find on AutoMojo, he flashed into some pictures of a car show he had been to earlier in the week. Turns out, it was like a walk down memory lane. Many of the cars in the pics were my work and some I even helped build. It got me thinking back to when I was just a youngling, a Jedi wannabe.~~~~~~
I had never imagined when I started out I would be working on such magnificent pieces. I just wanted to have a job I enjoyed....fast forward 10 years later, I was the hottest thing on the market! To have a car done by The Don, was a form of gloating to many (once again, I chose to overembelish for entertainment purposes only). But I realized that over a short period of time, I had gone from being a virtual unknown to one whose name meant something to many people, especially car people. This did make me proud.
To think all I wanted to do was create a job I enjoyed, but by satisfying all the right people and making excellent connections I become sort of the go-to guy for the Central Alberta auto-detailing. It was not till I met The Jedi Master,( my mentor who's name I will leave out for his sake) and he taught me the ways of the polisher that I was truly able to capitalise on what I had learned. I vowed to only do things that brought joy to peoples lives, and so it was. Soon the student became the teacher, and proceeded to care for his Masters vehicles. It was time for me to seek out a youngling to train up in the ways I had been taught. Oh those were the days~~~~~~ Ok, now the reality sets in.
I was to guest on the show and help advise people on how to find a good detail shop and help them understand when one is required. After establishing myself as the self proclaimed "expert" I went through a few random questions with Dave and gave sharp insightful answers, he too was mystified at how one man could be such a bundle of information! This man was trying to stump me, but to no avail, I was far too great in knowledge for this to happen....then it came, the clip of the carwasher from Latvia, ( Pro detailer from Latvia does his job! (VERY FUN)
http://bit.ly/QV4wp ) I had to speak my mind.It was very hard to watch from an auto detailers standpoint, but I endured, and used it to help educate people on how not to wash their car.
All in all we had a great time making the show, and I have been asked to return. ( after all, I am just that entertaining! ) I am quite looking forward to it and hope you fine folks will jump on board watching this (somewhat) informative show weekly on fusedlogic.tv
