June 24th - Motor City Masters Premier Party

[dbk]

Tuesday June 24th is the premier of Motor City Masters, which Camilo is a contestant on. We're going to have a viewing party up at the garage (located in Troy not far from Woodward) and would like to invite any local GT owners to show up and bring their GT. The garage will be filled with cars and Camilo's art so it should be a fun time. The show begins at 10 PM and runs for 1 hour, so we plan on starting about 9 PM with some food and drinks, but feel free to show up anytime after 8 PM.

Please RSVP either here or to dmbannister@me.com if you'll be coming so we know how many chairs to bring in. :cheers

I'm watching the 1st episode on xfinity online. Nowhere as good as watching it with DBK and Camilo.

Camilo shows up in a Chevy? It was probably on its way to the dealer for a few recalls.

I'm confused. I went to their website and there seems to be a first episode available for viewing. It comes across as a regular old style reality competition show, but the subject matter definitely is interesting.

I'm also confused about where Camilo's role is. When they rolled out the participants one woman seemed to recognize him as a teacher, but noone else seems to have made the connection. When they first started out I figured that Camilo would be one of the judges. The others seem to have varying degrees of experience, some fairly advanced auto folks, but weak on design. Yet Camilo has designed an award winning car and certainly has more experience than anyone except the judges. The team leader seemed to recognize his talent and went along with his ideas. So is there going to be some surprise?

I thought the right team won. They were right in that the design presented could be taken to market with a little tweeking. Not bad for a couple of days design and prototyping. I'd drop the little SS stickers though, and I have to agree, the mirrors didn't quite fit with the rest of the car.

There was an awful lot of fabrication going on. Did they have helpers to remake the bodies? Surely a car painter and graphics designers don't know how to run sheet metal forming machines to make a hood that could look like that. If so they are quick learners indeed.

Interesting in the opening a short bio was given for all of the contestants, somehow they omitted that Camilo designed one of the best cars of all time!

 

[Mike Mosing]

He got a new shirt! And shoes!

There is a PBS show called 'Autoline' and their latest segment came out today and had Camilo and Jean Jennings being interviewed about the upcoming 'Motor City Masters' show. Camilo was very informative, and while I don't want to disparage Ms. Jennings, I had the distinct impression that Mayberry's Aunt Bee has been reincarnated as an auto journalist.
