Ron, understood. Nearly all programming on Television needs manufacturers to fund the shows or there would be no shows, all the way from the CNN to National Geographic. I know you know that ;-) Many times the sponsors are featured as well, like in nearly every printed illustration publication out there. No secrets there.

One of the interviews with Mr. Price as I understand was during Dream Car Garage's visit to the Port Elizabeth factory while they were shooting numerous days of material for the show. While Superformance indeed paid for advertising banners for the show, not all coverage is a paid advertisment.

I know for instance that T.V's "TRUCKS" with Stacey David has many times covered products that have never had anything to do with the show, all because Stacey simply "wanted to show the viewers" the product all on his own. I'll wager DCG is similar in their history.

Ron, if you buy me a beer I'll be more than happy to interview you in a nightclub setting... and I'll do the same. We'll do that over and over again until the first interviewer drops. Of course this will all be filmed... ;-)
