Back in the 1997 I was offered the job of doing a tv commercial with Australian cricketer Rick Ponting with my AZ-1 car. The funny part here is that the car was in the middle of being converted to automatic at the time (and is now back to manual :) so we had to simulate the driving scenes and yes the fire trails were REAL fire trails. The guys on the set did a wonderful job and I got to showcase some of my time machine collection for the cameras including a custom made larger than life time circuit display. Ricky was great fun and the nicest guy you could ever meet! The AZ-1 was the first of it's kind to be imported and allowed to be driven on the roads here in Australia and now I have 2 of them as they are such cool cars :)
