Oh right!

Yes, that was Discovery Channel Canada. They had phoned me a couple of months before the GGP asking to do a piece on my prototype boat tail. I declined (camera shy), and suggested they come to GGP instead, where there would be more than a few DIY EcoModder type vehicles to look at and willing owners to talk to them.

Not sure if you can watch it from the US, but try: Discovery Channel Video Player

I'm looking for the footage of Tom's diesel Porsche right now...

EDIT: Hey! Will and Mike are in the gassification demo section of that vid. Yer famous! Mike has a speaking line!
