Hi Mike;
Doesn't really sound like braggin' to me. Sounds like you are really excited at this honor and want to share th' good stuff with people who care. Well, we are excited for you and can't wait to see the show. I, for one, am thrilled that the media is beginning to recognize the level of quality in your work. That can't help being good for us all.
Thanks for giving us a heads-up and thanks for your work that I've admired since I saw the first example way back when.

Congratulations - it is a well deserved honor. You've earned it the old fashioned way...you worked for it.
Just hope you still remember us little guys.
Posted by Mark Yearwood (Member # 2723) on :
That's great, Mike! It's about time they gave you some well deserved exposure. You have worked hard over the years and it's time to reap some rewards.
I'll be watching the show for sure.

Posted by Dave Utter (Member # 634) on :
I just checked the schedule, and now I'm confused. It says the show for the 28th is "Skin". about guys tatoos........... Is that the one? rides schedule click here Posted by Mike Lavallee (Member # 320) on :
yes that is the name of the episode, they are going to do a bit about artwork on human skin and artwork on vehicle skin, we are the main focus on the show. I heard we get about 45 minutes. Posted by Neil D. Butler (Member # 661) on :
Really Looking Forward to this one also, are you going to give away any of your secrets? Huh? Been thinking of trying to do flames on our new Shop Mini Van... I know it's hard to make a mini Van Look good, but it's a nice Brand New black short wheelbase Caravan, with chrome wheels... you never know!

Posted by Dave Hunt (Member # 4637) on :
Wow, what an awesome show!
You are so the man, Mike! I think it needs to become a series much like American HotRod....only better.

Here I am in the middle of doin 17 - 18 hour days tryin ta finish a project that is due by the 30th. Last night I decided to quit at 9:00, whether I had completed my days goals or not. I had not completed all I wanted to, but I went to th house at 9 to watch "RIDES".
I almost made it to the first commercial break when my wife saw a damned mouse run across the kitchen floor. By the time I caught the damned thing, and got it outside it was 10:05, so I scanned the listings and noticed it would come on again at 12:00. I came back to the shop, finished my days goals, and was back in the house at 11:59.
The show was well worth the wait!!! I came back to the shop at 5:00 this mornin, and I plan to take an hour off this afternoon to watch Mike again at 3:00. Then I will be back in the shop until the project is finished, so I can deliver it tomorrow.
I just hope I can stay focussed on work today instead of thinking about the show all day.
Great show Mike.
