Exactly my list of top-3 cars of all time!

I will say, my all time favorite Jags were the D types. Especially the racers.

She asked me if it was alright if her son could go in my garage and looked at my car. "Absolutely," I said......in fact, if you don't mind, I'm getting ready to go for a little cruise, and I will take Mike with me and bring him back to your house. I've never seen a kid get so excited......Please Mom.....Pleaseeeee! Well needles to say, Mikey is hooked for life. I have no doubt that one day, he will be a C2 owner.
That is a ride that kid will remember for the rest of his life.

Well a week ago I visited my auntie 91 years young, 150 miles from me and living in a veteran home (Yes we had female staff at WW2,not in combat but nursing etc over here in Finland fighting the commies).So I called her 15 mins before arrival that I`m not driving my Volvo but something much cooler,a 1964 Vette with no mufflers.All the veterans were sitting at the front yard in a shady area when I arrived.I jumped out of the CAR and they asked:what the heck is that noisy thing,an UFO,Batmobile or Messerschmitt?I answered,well this was America back in the ´60`s.So I took my dear auntie to the local Pharmacy to get her pills and she said:this thing you are driving is very loud even though my hearing is getting weaker after all these hours I`ve been listening to Led Zeppelin.The lesson learned is:It`s not your age that counts but the way you look at your life!Sorry my broken english.

Way to go Gary !! I had one of those rides when was 8. IVe nEvER bEEN riGHt SInce tHeN. Mail him a picture of the car for him to put on his wall. As mentioned previously, he will never forget your gesture or the ride in the car as long as he lives. Something magical just happens in the brain.
