Kim & Randy Alldredge   

Kimberly and her husband Randy have been a great addition to Hot Rides TV.   We all began working together years ago when we first started as Hot Wheels Florida.. Randy was our technical advisor during our first visit to the infamous Turkey Rod Run at the Daytona Speedway.  We had a great time at the event and brought back a few nice stories about the history of the Rod Run and some of the great cars that are always sold there every year.

Kim and Randy own Sun State Collision in Starke and n a partnership with Randys' brother...they have begun racing at the Ellisville Raceway and we will be following the racing exploits of the team as well as Kimberly.   Kimberly has begun to actually race, and after coming in second in the first race she ever entered, she has subsequently blown the engine. These things happen and the engine is now repaired and the racing schedule is again underway.....We plan on keeping up with the team and will post them here and on Kims' page...

     'I was born in Wisconsin in 1982, my family moved around a bit before we settled in Anaheim in 1989. I was emancipated at 17 and lived in NY, Fullerton, CA and London before buying a house in Las Vegas in 2005 at the age of 23.

I am most well known for either my status as an alternative model with limb loss or for being the first person to own a copyright on a tattoo (dead men tell no tales by Tim Kern)

I have appeared extensively in publications and television including more than 15 magazine covers, the cover of the Las Vegas Review Journal and 15+ appearances on television and in feature films.

I began modeling in 2002 with my debut on SuicideGirls.com,  Suicide Girls has given me many opportunities and I am currently going on 6 years with the company.

I am also the staff Suicide Girls photographer in Las Vegas and have my own private studio at my house. I haven’t worked a regular job since 2002 and don’t plan on working one ever again.

Outside of modeling and photography I enjoy my baby Boston Terrier Boo-Boo, the Las Vegas Wranglers hockey team, Bikers, Apple products, mixed alcoholic beverages, late night Bingo, educational books on computer software, saunas, sandwiches, coffee and many more things make me a happy little swan.'

Bo Hopkins is uninhibited, colorful and disarmingly honest. He has carved a career in Hollywood with a talent and determination that has led him from parking cars to starring roles in television and films.

Born in Greenville, South Carolina, Bo was raised by his mother and grandmother when at the age of nine his father died unexpectedly. This sudden loss led to difficulties in adjusting for Bo and he joined the Army at the age of sixteen. After leaving military service, Bo moved to nearby Greenwood, South Carolina where he auditioned and won the title role in a theater production of Tea House of the August Moon. This led to a summer stock scholarship and a change in name from William Hopkins to Bo Hopkins, based on the character he played in Bus Stop. Bo followed his acting dreams to New York, but didn't like the big-city culture and returned home. Nine months later he left South Carolina for good and moved to Hollywood where he won a scholarship to Desilu Studios acting school.

Bo’s first television appearance came in 1967 as he guest-starred on The Andy Griffith Show. That was followed by appearances on The Virginian, Gunsmoke, and The Rat Patrol. Bo was appearing in the play The Picnic when he auditioned for director Sam Peckinpah and won the role of Crazy Lee in The Wild Bunch. While filming The Wild Bunch Bo was befriended by William Holden, who became a mentor and inspiration to Bo throughout his career. Bo maintained a great relationship with Sam Peckinpah, appearing in three of his movies.

Since that first feature film role, Bo has worked on projects with such diverse actors as Sean Penn, Steve McQueen, James Caan, Burt Reynolds, Jean Simmons and such esteemed directors as Oliver Stone, Stanley Kramer, George Lucas and Alan Parker. "I've worked with a lot of good actors and directors and you learn a lot that way," says Hopkins of his colleagues. 

The 2004 production, Shade, is his first outing as a motion picture producer. Enthusiastic about the material, he tenaciously shopped the script for 2 1/2 years. Bo is presently reviewing several scripts for his next producing effort.

Bo resides in Los Angeles with his wife Sian and their son Matthew. He enjoys fishing, raising Koi, painting and rooting for the Anaheim Angels.
