Governator hopped in front, talked cars, says limo driver
By LAURIE MUSTARD, WINNIPEG SUN
Hollywood Limousine Service owner Ricky Brar, who drove Arnie around Tuesday during his visit to the ’Peg, says meeting Schwarzenegger was a truly enjoyable experience:
“It was great, he was just a really good guy. When I picked him up at the airport I opened the back door for him but he just hopped in the front with me, and got his ‘people’ to ride in the back. I picked him up in the Hummer — he’s a real Hummer fan, has something like five H1s — and we just talked cars, casual conversation, that sort of thing. He also told me about a ’58 Dodge he’s just redone, cost him something like $60,000. He’s a real car guy.”
I mention that it must have been pretty cool to have Arnie up front.
“Absolutely. We drive a fair number of Hollywood people/celebs around, and I have to say that sitting next to the Governator was really something. Unbelievable. He’s really right at the top of that ‘wow’ factor celebrity-wise, and yet so easy to spend time with.”
I ask Ricky what surprised him most, if anything, about getting that up-close and personal with Arnie?
“Just how down to earth he was. Impressive.”
So Ricky, the big question. When you dropped him back at the airport Tuesday night, did he say. “I’ll be back!”
“No,” laughs Ricky. “Just thanks, and goodbye.”
Hmmm. Well, let’s just hope he was thinking it.

He's got some neat stuff in his collection. I can see the article being correct, he is a big car/truck buff. He's got Hummers, Pinzgauers, G-wagons, Jeeps, etc. Some are "tricked" out, others are left stock factory.

When he came to Toronto Tuesday night I had the pleasure of meeting him. I even had my truck parked 20 feet from him but because the "Men in Black" where there and had to keep a schedule, I was unable to get a picture of him with my truck. He did notice it and ask me about it. (my mission continues)

I'm sure a lot of us would make the drive to Toronto to get a picture of Arnold with our Hummers! Derek/Marcus, make it happen! <img src='
