Aw shucks, all I did was stand in for Britney Spears, whose SS-100 
wouldn't start ... .

Seriously, I haven't seen the show yet, but all of us in the Wasatch 
Mountain Jaguar Register have been eagerly awaiting its appearance.  The 
film crew came to our concours last September, at the Homestead resort 
in Midway, Utah (venue for the concours of the Western States meeting we 
are hosting Sept. 13-17 this year).

Apparently the producers contacted JCNA headquarters, and asked when the 
next event would be where they could film some XKs.  We drew the short 
straw.

The crew spent all weekend at the event, shot lots of footage, and 
seemed genuinely interested in doing a good job.

Next stop -- Hollywood!
