Thank you, Ms. Yates for agreeing to share your car stories with the VinWiki family. While the Cannonball movie is legendary for it's story lines and humor. Only the people who were actually there can tell you the backstories that Hollywood can't. Thanks again, Lady Pamela. The big chair is always yours, please come back soon!
Here, Here! I second the motion. Likewise, should the opportunity avail itself in the near future. A visit from "Gentleman" John Ficarra to come regale us with another 4 or 6 wheeled adventure in his own unique style is in order. The Big chair beckons! #TheDudeAbides #ThisCanBeRed❗
Dear vinWiki, Absolutely FANTASTIC!! I have watched every single episode for the last 2 years..COULD YOU PLEASE GET DENNIS COLLINS IN THE CHAIR??? No matter what in takes, but leave Richard Rawlings in Dallas. Thank You!
I got out of a 103 in a 55 in a '16 mustang convertible 6 spd with a warning because I was on my way to a sex shop to get a birthday gift for a 69 yr old gma. Nothing in this comment is a lie, and that trooper was amazing.
We thought lazer jammers and radar detectors were wild. Theses guys took “counter measures” to the moon! They built an ambulance and even stuck an IV in this woman. The Nardi wheel and Recaro seats with a loping V8 is really cool too:)
@@mycosys oh I misunderstood that! I thought she meant running down her arm from inside. I’ve had IVs put in my arm before and you can feel it rush through your veins at first.
Absolutely one of my favorite movies growing up, and hearing this story from the lady herself…. My day is made, might as well go to sleep right now because it ain’t getting any better then this.
Crazy coincidence, I just came across my copy of "Cannonball" written and autographed by Brock Yates last night....It was an honor to get a first run copy and gave it signed, I knew a some of the stories from the book but hearing one first hand from Pamela is priceless.😅😂🤣😉👍
We live in rural Northern Minnesota my wife went into labor i was speeding down the highway to the nearest hospital highway patrol pulled me over asked me why i was speeding told him my wife was in labor and way trying to get her to a hospital he said he didnt care and drive the speed limit lol
I do so love this story. We often think that much of this was so well planned, tested and executed. And it's only dumdums like "us" that are getting it together the morning of. We all have had moments where things go way wrong and others that go pretty close to as planned. But nothing is more thrilling at the end of the day than when you look at each other and realize we should have never gotten away with what happened back there and this car should not have held together 20 miles let alone 2000. Zip ties and duct tape are the classic joke, but when you roll into your destination beating all the odds of logic and reason it's just so sweet.
The Cannonball Run had a huge influence in my life and this is why I've been a subscriber from the beginning. My question is how do you feel about having a bunch of great actors come together to make a movie about what you did.
The book is great, got to read it if interested in the whole cannonball story. Especially Dan Gurney talking about driving that Ferrari Daytona at 160 mph at night. A can’t put it down book!
Cannonball Run came along during the end of the Golden Years in Hollywood . There is nothing Golden about Hollywood anymore that’s for sure . Sure makes me miss how things used to be
Hey Vinwiki, I've enjoyed many of the stories here but this one here ranks top of the top. Great story. Thank you for all the posts. Senor El Negra says the Nightmare is real
Loved the movie growing up, one of the greatest car movies of all time !! FYI you guys influenced a generation of car culture just like Fast and Furious except better.
@VINwiki ... I would like to thank you all so very much for balancing the volume better and restoring the Closed Captions... Thank You and Many Blessings , SMR
Definitely a great story of the times. I hate to think what today's law enforcement would do...😳 Thank you for another great behind the scenes look at Cannonball.
Thank you for telling the story of that amazing encounter, Lady Pamela. Myself, and others I'm sure, would love to here more of your adventures. They would be an privilege and an honor to hear.
Ok, I gotta admit. When I saw a non-usual story teller here, I was really tempted to click off and move on. Thank god I didn’t! Thank you for the great story Mrs. Yates!
Out of all the awesome stories that have been told on this channel, this one is my favorite and in my opinion the best one. Ed you are a very lucky man and I envy you being able to talk to Lady Pamela herself. She is true automotive royalty. Thank You for sharing this interview.
F BEEP, F BEEP Said F BEEP every 12 seconds Sorry. and back to the story.. LOL Love it... In case you have to RUN.. SHE IS AWESOME.... LOL Looks all innocent but if you look close and move the hair around you will see two little horns propping up that halo... With a wingwoman like that you could get away with just about anything. F BEEP..
Lady Pamela is amazing the life and the phone that she must have had that will never know. Until she gets on here and tells us some crazy stories and to her is probably just normal everyday life with Brock
Ha. I was actually thinking those cops won't do anything because they don't know how to handle the paperwork on such a thing". If you want the cops to leave you alone, just make the situation too complicated and confusing. Remember the bubble Caprice (IIRC) in military police paint? Lol.
Lady Pamela is a wonderful story teller. I could listen to her for hours. Imagine all the incredible things she experienced with Brock. Since I was a kid I always enjoyed Brocks stories and magazine articles. Every so often I watch Cannonball on my VCR, yeah it’s crappie but there’s something about the old tech that makes me smile while watching the old movies.
Back in the days before emergency helicopters and trauma centers, long distance ambulance drives were a thing. An old Charter Member of my old rescue squad told me back in the late 60's. The local state police needed someone to take a trooper that had been shot in the head from Salem, VA to Shock Trauma in Baltimore. They loaded the shoot trooper in the back and a real trooper in the front. The Sergeant in charge of State Police Barracks told our driver that the speed limits were revoked for our unit and get him there as fast as you can. The old guy told me they broke 130 in an old Cadillac ambulance several times that night and this was before I-81 was built. As was typical back then, the trooper didn't make it but they knew it was a long shot when they got behind the wheel..
Best story ever!! . Ed when are you gonna tell some stories about experiences in these rallies??? Are you sworn to secrecy ??? I bet you may very well be... love the channel ❤
Can we all take moments over to appreciate Lady Pamela is here

Congrats in bringing Pam here on the channel. She's an awesome storyteller and has awesome insights on the cannonball runs history.
Exactly great to see it from her point of view
"Every ambulance should have a Recaro seat."
They usually do, at least in Europe.

I've heard a lot of Cannonball stories, told by a few different people..this was hands down the absolute best one yet. Thanks for sharing!
I too am a GL, minus an r.
Royalty has come among us, thank you for the story, as marvellous we knew it would be, thanks Ed for persuading her to tell story

More Lady Pamela! An absolute delight to hear the story first hand. I certainly hope she told some more tales while in the chair. She is the best!

this is absolute GOLD
It’s great to see Pamela on the channel telling the inside story of the traffic stop.
I want to see the Trooper on next week!!
Inviting the troopers out was epic. That must have been one wild night.
Dear vinWiki, Absolutely FANTASTIC!! I have watched every single episode for the last 2 years..COULD YOU PLEASE GET DENNIS COLLINS IN THE CHAIR??? No matter what in takes, but leave Richard Rawlings in Dallas. Thank You!

Love these old cannonball story's, these guys and gals seem like a fun group.
This is the best Cannonball story that we've heard!
DID SHE SAY HAL NEEDHAM ?!?!?
that man is my absolute HERO !!! seriously, if you dont know, look him up.. RIP my stunt lord, RIP
The Cannonball Run had a huge influence in my life and this is why I've been a subscriber from the beginning. My question is how do you feel about having a bunch of great actors come together to make a movie about what you did.
this means a bit more to those of us who grew up in the 70's and remember how life was back then
The book is great, got to read it if interested in the whole cannonball story. Especially Dan Gurney talking about driving that Ferrari Daytona at 160 mph at night. A can’t put it down book!
Lady Pamela- just as important as the her husband, but much prettier, He could not have been Brock without her.
What a wonderful story, an iconic story. And Pam is completely adorable. Thanks Ed, I absolutely love the content.
The best story, but how do you coherently tell that. You can't. Hopefully someday this is standard education.
Cannonball Run came along during the end of the Golden Years in Hollywood . There is nothing Golden about Hollywood anymore that’s for sure . Sure makes me miss how things used to be
Incredible story and wonderful to see the Lovely Lady Pamela that I have read about since the 1980's in Car and Driver!
You’ve all outdone yourselves with this one… great story, fantastic lady, it doesn’t get any better…

Outstanding story loved every minute of it

Shat an awesome story. And especially presenting Brock with a $43000.00 speeding ticket.

"Ask the Doctor!"
I hope the doctor was wearing brown pants... Though throwing the senator thing in was genius, lol.
When are we going to get Kimmie????
Passed Englewood, Holy Name, and Hackensack hospitals. I'd have stopped you too! Lmao
Needs to be reposted.
My first thought would be "what is the statute of limitation?", but that is why I have not lived a life as full as these characters.
I thought the Ambulance bit was purely entertainment value for the movie; I had no clue it was based on truth. That’s interesting…
She's a treasure
It's been taking a few years, but I have a bigger picture of how this happened now
What a great story. Shame it wasn't depicted quite like that in the film, but still absolutely brilliant 😂❤️
I grew up in Bergen County. That's hilarious.
Best story ever!! . Ed when are you gonna tell some stories about experiences in these rallies??? Are you sworn to secrecy ??? I bet you may very well be... love the channel ❤
