Though I wouldn't want to have to pay to fill up the gas tank, lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248139855347807926.post-59763078640159122432010-03-15T15:22:32.149+00:002010-03-15T15:22:32.149+00:00I haven't read it Mondo, but a few years back,...I haven't read it Mondo, but a few years back, while visiting friends in San Francisco, we went to his restaurant in Carmel - The Hog's Breath Inn.

I told the owner how gutted I was having forgotten to wear my Adidas SL 76s (the very rare edition as worn by Dave Starsky). So as a consolation prize - he let me sit in the drivers seat with the cardigan, gun and light on top. Smashing.<br /><br />Bloody tiny inside - it's like a reverse TARDIS, with a sort of knee-to-chin seating arrangement.<br /><br />Great Jamie interview - have you read William Goldman's Which Lie Did I Tell for a great offstage take on Clint?Mondohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199468951602465556noreply@blogger.com
