Check out  Itawamba County Times.  Spencer & The Bandit Run made the local paper, we meet him at our Tupelo stop.



Update 8.27.07.  Horsepower TV had a few small clips of The Bandit Run.   I will upload the video so you can see if you can spot your car.  The Gearz show aired, but no bandit coverage.  Maybe next week, I've got my DVR ready.

 Get your Tivo ready.  Rumor has it Sunday 8.26.07 we might have two shows with The Bandit Run on it.  The 1st show is Horsepower T.V @ 11:00 on Spike T.V. and Gears @ 11:30 on ESPN 2.  Of Course I'll have the DVR on and ready to go.  If they air I will have the video for all to see soon after.

Just received this email from Tim P.  Airs Espn 2 this Sat. 25th of Aug. 07'

 

"According to Stacey David who does the show GEARZ the Bandit show will be the next show. Look for it on a Saturday morning on ESPN2. I hope to see Jerry Reed in my car on the show so wish me luck!  Tim Phillips"

Just received an email from Chanda, that's her son Spencer in the photo.  Spencer is the little boy that I took for a ride in the parking lot at the Tupelo stop on the Bandit Run.  She emailed me after they seen Spencer in Automobile Magazine August 2007 issue.  The whole family is thrilled and the local newspaper is going to do an article on him because they thought it was neat that a 5 year old was so in love with the Bandit Car.  She is going to mail me a copy of the paper and I'll post it when I get it, she thought about a week.
