If you watched one of the Bold Moves episodes, an older guy at a meeting asks Hau about his decision to have Shelby produce the Shelby GT. He pronounced Hau, "How".

I remember that Jeff. That's really awesome.

Hey whatever happened to that internal documentary they were filming during the walk-around you gave him?

I have no problems with Asians, I LOVE the Japanese people here. I just kind of find it funny.

Guess who was the "father" of the Boss 302, one of the greatest Mustangs ever and was also did the styling of the '63 Corvette Stingray.? Larry Shinoda, another Asian-American.

So Asian Americans having a big influence on America's pony car is a tradition.

It looks like they are grooming him for bigger things, like maybe running Ford of North America?

Most likely ended up on an editing room floor. Too bad as I really wanted to watch the walk-around with Hau. That day was just amazing. Here I was showinig the designer of the new Mustang MY CAR!!! A day I'll never forget! I will have a silver pen with me now ALL THE TIME!! Just glad my buddy Lon from BMC took that great picture, and I was able to get Hau's address from work.

Way to go Jeff!!!

Hold on to them it may be worth something one day. They will make a great display with your car at a car show

I know what they mean to ya. I have 2 posters that John Coletti signed for my club's car show and they are dated 9/11/01.

Jeff you totally suck

. Thats ****ing awesome man, the sig of the very man who designed the car you ride in, **** thats cool, I mean just **** that is just too cool. I have always wanted to go to a car show the only one I have ever been able to make it to is the PA auto show which is not quite the same as the Detroit one. Only one thing though Jeff, I think you need a bigger office at work for all your stuff. Congrats truly that is one of a kind.
