<font color="red"> Had a BBQ at a friend's place recently. He has one or two toys in his garage.
My young fella, 7 yrs old (and me later) got the opportunity to have a sit in a real F1.
No doubt the smile on his face tells the story. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
The Elfin is all in perfect working order and was raced recently. 5 litre SBC.
Do any of you have such an experience and photo to share?
Be great to see. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Cheers,

uh, wow is all i can say...
The only thing that I could say that could compare is having my first project completed and ready for show...and bringing back a trophy that day.
Sorry but that is the best I can do.
Hey C, I did the same thing at 4 years old in a running Sprintcar! That JuJu works, I am proof!

My friend races go-karts, and one day the race was rained out or something so he went to this track and rode shotgun in a Ferrari Challenge Cup F355 and got to drive a Formula Mazda, first time he had ever driven a standard too.
Heres the story

Oh yeah, his dad used to build Gene Snows top fuel dragsters.

<font color="green"> Hey Flexicoker, what a great experience for the boys (and you)!
It's great to see youth taking up the challenge and the mentoring from these folk who have an interest in helping others.
Those boys look pretty chipper! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Well done! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Cheers,
C
Oh yeah, I guess this is where it must've started for me, somewhere in '62... </font>
