Gas Monkey Garage. Yesterday.
Never know if one should post stuff like this in the general chat section.
This USA Road trip has put me in touch with all sorts.
I even managed to help for a day on a SEMA build.
Spent yesterday in Dallas, Texas.
Went to see Sue at ASM Upholstery. Ass Monkey girl is lovely and so down to earth.
Then GAS MONKEY GARAGE !!!
Well, we spent almost 3 hrs behind the scenes at Gas Monkey Garage yesterday.
Knowing some amazingly cool people did help get us in. (YOU GUYS KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND CAN EXPOSE YOURSELF IF YOU WANT) Aaron was taken with us and spent at least 30 minutes of real conversation time talking to us. Incredibly bright guy. He has so much knowlege and when discussing some of the mods Martin does for disabled, he was so on top of the technology and asked about our build challenges on our trucks too. REFRESHING.
Aaron also let me photograph his one tattoo and told me it's story. (No, I was not starstruck, honest) I also watched him do some great photos with a little Mexican boy who had travelled with his parents to come see the shop.
Jonathan Mansauer the behind the scenes PR guy was great as well and spent a lot of time showing us around and asking loads of quiestions about what we do. He showed us his one owner low mileage Ford pickup on a perfectly executed static drop.
RR was in and out the shop, signing autographs and letting the "outsiders" take photos with him.
A lovely thing to have been privileged to participate in.
Thanks to all involved.
Down in Austin Texas area today.

Wow Lucky Guy,
I watch Fast n Loud religiously, right up to the current season 6 finale last week or so.
Just one question for Aaron, Is he a Ford or Chevy Guy ??

Re: Gas Monkey Garage. Yesterday.
I think Aaron must be a Ford guy as he got a Ford Falcon race car and is a huge Fan of Ford Hot Rods i.e. 32's etc. He is also a huge fan of AC Cobras it seems..
But Aaron's cool, you were lucky to meet him, and all cool guys like Fords of course and then mopars, chevys not so much !

Re: Gas Monkey Garage. Yesterday.
Wow, you are a lucky man indeed. Would have loved to go to GMG. Talk crap to RR, and hear Aaron's thoughts on all things mechanical.
