Chris, I don't want to hog the post or come across as one upmanship but I thought I would tell you this little ditty:
One day I pulled into the Studios car park and the security guard told me that Barry wanted me to take the Morgan and park in front of our executive offices (such an honour). I dutifully did, our offices used to be where the Stars had their apartments during the Studio ownership days, my office was part of Burt Lancaster's apartment, the Morgan was parked outside what used to be Marilyn Monroe's apartment. Anyway, Barry wanted to show a famous friend of his the +8 which he thought was a crazy car. I was in meetings and eventually got told that I could remove the +8 back to the garage, when the meeting finished I went down to drive it back as I was getting in Clint Eastwood came out of his production offices that were opposite to where I was parked. The WB Lot is very big and we used electric golf carts to get around the complex, Clint was going to get in his cart but saw me and shouted across would I take him to the costume department, I of course said yes. In climbs Clint and we start off but he says don't go directly let's have some fun, so off we go on a tour of the Lot, as we drive past the Shed (Studio) where Friends was being shot Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow were sitting by their Wagons talking. Clint tells me to pull over and he says to them something to the effect of (I can't quite remember) "Hey there you two I would take you for a ride but there isn't room", they burst out laughing and say "Later Darling". We drive all around the Studio Lot with Clint waving and cheering at everyone, at one point we passed a Lot Tour cart full of public on the WB Studio Tour, we stop and he tells the driver they can take photos. He had his photo taken in the +8 with all the people so there must be 20 or so photos out there somewhere. I eventually got him to the costume department and I was very late for my next meeting!!!!!!!
