My grandfather knew Steve McQueen. Have some great photos of the 2 of them together! My grandpa was a car nut also, and, rumor has it, they would talk cars all night. My uncle has an autographed copy of Bullitt (got it after my Grandpa died). They (my grandpa and McQueen) both had the same doctor (Dr. Kelly)that got kicked out of the states because he had a "cure for cancer". Cancer is BIG business here. They both went to see him down in Mexico. My grandpa survived, McQueen didn't. Supposedly, his cancer was too far along to be cured. My uncle has some neat stories about that Doctor and some of the people (especially celebs) he had for patients! My uncle was also a patient of his and knows his daughter very well. Dr. Kelly died not too long ago. Cause of death was "unknown". He had a lot of people in the states that wanted to see him gone, though!
