I was standing next to a guy at a car show awhile back when I said, "You look like Steve Millen." (I wasn't sure, so I took an easy-out approach).
His reply, "Never heard of him." Well, the NZ accent gave him away, but I started to turn when he said, "Yes, I am."
So, I complimented him on his apparent good health (you might remember he was in a LMP car that was t-boned at a horrendous speed and nearly cut in two) and walked off. They'll let you know if they feel like talking. He didn't.
On another occasion, I was at a car show and in the nearby donut shop for coffee when I realized John Force was next to my friend at the cream and sugar bar. I walked over to my buddy and said, "Do you know this guy right here?"
He looks at Force and says no. JF had this big grin on his face over the whole deal and turned to leave. I didn't say anything more letting him enjoy the moment. Of course, just out the door he was besieged by fans. My friend looked confused.
I simply said, "John Force" as we walked by. I think my friend is still wondering.
