slammedi'am Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Well yesterday we had a chance to go to Bristol to see the first Global rally race to be held there...They had a meet and great before and after the show...I took my model I built last year with me and had Ken Block sign it...It was a pretty cool excperience for sure but even better to meet Ken and have my model signed by him
MAGNUM4342 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 He seemed to really like the car too. Good onya!
High octane Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Some people like their model cars, die-casts, and also their 1:1 cars signed by celebrities and living legends, but I'm not one of them. To each their own.

To each their own. It's a personal taste kinda thing to be sure. Back in the day when I was spending alot of time around the Petty's, I remember Richard and Kyle both would ask where you wanted the car signed. Even going so far as to ask if you would rather have them sign the package so as not to mar the car. I don't like sigs on my cars either, but for a fan who doesn't mind it's a cool thing.
Daddyfink Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I think it is pretty cool to have some items autographed for keepsakes. I have a few boxes signed but only one car, it is the Tamiya Jagermeister BMW kit that I had Mr. Tamiya sign for me at Tamiya Con a few years ago. It was the first time anyone had asked him to sign a model! Pretty cool of Ken Block to sign it for you. Not to hi jack your thread, but, who else has autographed kit boxes or kits?
JM485 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 That is way cool, I would really like to meet him one day as well.
gtx6970 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Pretty cool, I've got a couple autographed kits ( all unbuilt stuff ) I like his videos, and he sure can drive
Greg Myers Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Not to hi jack your thread, but, who else has autographed kit boxes or kits? A Hot Wheels car signed by Billy Boat , his son was in my wife's class.
slammedi'am Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 I normally dont build race car replica but there isnt any out there of his....I know its not the correct body style he ran for that race but I just wanted to build one... Everyone else was bringing in pretty much the same thing to be signed and he thought it was cool to see something like that made..
lordairgtar Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 A friend of mine here is the only guy I know that can get George Barris to sign his unopened Barris model car kits for no cost. Mr. Barris often charges people for that .
