Car Room TV: HGTV's "Look What I Did" CAR ROOM EPISODE!

That's right... before there was a Car Room Magazine, Car Room TV, or any of that good stuff, there was a chance response to an ad in the paper, and a film crew from Weller-Grossman Productions - and this episode of the HGTV show, "Look What I Did". It was the Car Room's first public appearance - and the rest is history. HGTV segment hosted by Kaleo Griffith and directed by Chris Bavelles.

@fastjimmy71 Thanks a lot! We're in that room for hours every day - probably the best thing we ever built.

Thanks for watching!

that's pretty cool! i think you would be interested in Kyosho Mini-Z r/c cars, handling is incredible, good speed for it's size, and there are several beautiful, scale bodies for them, you can probably find some on their website. I used to have an AWD mitsubishi lancer, MR-01 ferrari 512BB, and a MR-02 with a G'zox 350z body. bodies are interchangable, wheels can be changed, you can do almost anything you can to a real car on them, and their incredibly fun.

@jamiekenta I've seen those - they're very cool. We see a lot of stuff at the Nuremberg, Germany, toy show every year. Kyosho has a huge stand, and they breakout all the goodies. Maybe we'll give those cars a try.

Thanks for watching!

@Thecarroom please do, those mini monsters don't get nearly as much attention as they deserve. it's awesome to own a model car, but to own one that you can drive brings it that much closer to owning the real thing, even though it lacks all the detail of a 1/18 model.

@jamiekenta Sounds like a plan! We'll contact out Kyosho rep and see what we can do. Thanks for the idea - and for watching CRMTV!

@wardawg07 Thanks, man!

@legr8est1234 Thank you! The show was short-lived, running only 1 season on Home and Gardens TV. There were some very cool things shown, all of them home-brewed. We had a blast taping.

Thanks for watching!

@racegrooves Thanks! The original plan was for a hand-cranked winch, so it can definitely work. The rest of the stuff - the cables, all that - really wasn't expensive. In fact, the electric winch wasn't all that much, either. I got it from Northern tool.

Good luck! Racing is FUN.

Awesome set-up! I have similar plans for a downhill track but my budget won't allow for motors and wenches. It's going to be strickly man-power LOL!

[legr8est1234]

That is quite the man cave! It's awesome that your room got featured on that show (even though I've never heard of it before), and it's quite cool to see how part of it was made.

It's also nice when you have a supporting family who won't criticize you for being obsessed with "toys."
