- Now in the 20 years of our show, I've often been scared
but when I accepted this invitation from Steve McQueen
to go riding with him in his dune buggy
I wasn't scared, I was dumb
I want to show this to you
(engine running)
(engine roaring)
(engine stopping)
Steve, Steve McQueen
- Hi, Ed
- Just fine
They told me that I'd find you out on the desert
but what's this motorcycle bit on a desert?
- Well, it's kind of a sport
that here in California in the desert.
- Is that so?
- Yeah, I've got something over the hill here
that you may be interested in
It's called a sand dune buggy
- A sand dune buggy?
- Yeah, I'd like to have you come and take a ride with me
- I'd be delighted to
- Well, come on and step into my office
(audience laughing)
- Boy, this is a wild looking machine
- Come on, jump in
(metal creaking)
- Steve, I understand you helped design this
- Yes, I did, I did help
You ready to go?
- Yeah!
- Okay, here we go
(engine starting)
(engine roaring)
(audience laughing)
(engine roaring)
Hold on, Ed!
(engine roaring)
You'll get a purple heart for this one!
(engine roaring)
(engine slowing down)
- That was a hell of a ride!
(audience laughing)
- Well, I'd like to say
I think you were an awful good sport
in coming out here and riding with me
It was a lot of fun
- Well, it was a lot of fun for me, too, Steve
- Well, thank you
You know for me, motorcycles are still my first love
but a vehicle like this
is an all-purpose recreational vehicle for the family
It's something that'll work in the sand
or in the woods or in the snow
It's a good sport
It's catching on like wildfire
and it's something we're all kind of keen for
out here in California
Well, listen, you ready to go back to the hotel?
- I'd appreciate it very much
- All right, well, away we go
(engine starting)
(engine roaring)
(audience applauding)
