Default Bruce Lee and Porsche !!!

Man - this made me laugh.
I'm a big Bruce Lee fan and a Steve Mcqueen fan as well.

Since no one knows what really happened in that car but Steve and Bruce, you can count on that story being largely made up.

There is an article on McQueen in the September 2011 issue of Excellence.

I wonder how many know he was on the US team in the World ISDT? It was Bud Ekins, his team mate, who later worked with McQueen and was the one who did the motorcycle jump on the Great Escape.

I have a t-shirt that has the Triumph copany logo on it and on the back it says Bud Ekins. I never knew who that was till you just mentioned it. Dam. People would call me Bud when I wear that shirt.
