Sharing the passion - give a kid a ride

[twobone]

I have a new personal mission. If I'm just out driving around and somebody expresses an interest in the car to the point where they either know what it is or they express a desire to own one some day, I'm going to offer them a ride.

 

I did it yesterday to a young guy at a coffee shop in western ontario. He was over 200 lbs so it was a tough fit, but I think I gave him an experience that will stick for a LONG TIME. Its fun to hear a stranger laugh out loud.

 

Just 5 minutes of my time to spread the passion.

Did you give him a ride at rt. 10 or QEW or port credit or the lakeshore blvd?

It was out near Ancaster

My rides of neighborhood kids to their schools are "legendary":)! Many happy faces, screen saver photos etc. I have a bunch of very twisty , empty park roads close to where I live, so the path to school detours thru them (Planting the seeds for the next generation of se7em ownership).

 

Also gave a ride to an occasional visitor here who sent a note recently saying he is now building a Birkin he'd just bought from Dick Brink.

Not all of them appreciate the ride. A guy who is drooling to get ride... and I gave him one.

He said, "one of the unsafest ride he ever been"

When we are at car shows, I always let kids sit in my 7 if they ask. Someone out there let me sit in his 120 Jag 40 years ago, and it lit the fuse for me.

Busa, anyone that straps into a 4 or 5 point harness in a super 7 must know they are about to risk life and limb to some degree. I think that passenger is a dufus.

Gave a friend of mine's 6 year old boy a ride around the corner to his friends birthday party. Other than a bunch of screaming kids yelling "Hot Wheels Car!!!" so loud it made the S2K seem quite it was a blast. Too bad he couldn't see over the dash during the ride, but he was able to get out without un-doing the 5-point harness. LOL

Im allways giving rides in my car especially work mates when were on late shift we have a nice small 5km circuit here around the outside of Christchurch airport which is good for a blat so far it has made 2 of them go out and order Macgregor Super 7 kits from the local 7 builder here in Christchurch NZ

 

Im also all ways giving rides to my mates kids they just love it, my mates daughter is only 5 and the last time i took her out in summer she slid down the seat untill she was flat and you coulldn't see here if you looked at the car from the side but all you could see was this tiny arm still waving to people as we drove on was very funny.

I might have to try this. So far I only give gorgeous white females a ride in the passenger seat.
