That looks much better, but where is Godzilla, etc? Maybe hiding in the alley?

Godzilla is in the alley playing dice with King Kong and Gumby.

This picture was taken in 1958 when Steve McQueen was doing the TV series Wanted Dead or Alive. I'm the little guy with the cowboy hat and Steve has his hand on my shoulder, I was six years old. Lucky me, I got to meet Steve McQueen!

Cool photo Brian. I have a T-shirt just like that mural. Now I know where they got the idea from.

John, actually I don't, I was only six years old, 10 years before Bullitt. At the same event I got to meet James Arnes "Matt Dillon". Gunsmoke was very popular and that's who I remember from that day. As you can see he also had his hand on my shoulder.

Steve McQueen is one of my heroes since he was a motocrosser & a car guy. He popularized the saying but it was Rudolf Caracciola, another famous motorcycle & car guy from Germany, who said it in the 1930s.

It's spelled Caracciola & is the name of a noble family from Italy. Rudolf was actually born in Germany. He lived a short, exciting & interesting life. He ruled the Nurburgring in the pre-War years & raced the 24HR Le Mans, crashed in practice at the Indy 500 & was one of the most successful drivers in his time. Time to do some reading Dr Frank!
