I blame/credit Reggie for return to the car enthusiast world. Just kidding, I've planned my return for quite a while. He definitely gets credit for my attendance at the last 3 Lone Star Round-Ups. This year one of my 14 yr old daughters went with me and fell in love with the cars, too. Gotta love watching her eyes light up.

She & I recently completed a Jeep project then sold it to finance something cooler. She wants to be more involved than she was the last time and has been looking at all kinds of older cars.

I have a Hemi lined up that is just looking for a new chassis. Any are welcomed. I'm letting her have a lot of input on what it will go in.

Thanks,
Les K

Welcome from Irving.

My 14 yr old daughter called today to ask to video tape my car for a school project. She really wants to drive my racecar.

She gets it!

Have fun while you can. They grow up fast.

That's funny. As soon as I saw "TxSwimDad" in the title, I thought "Man, he needs to meet Reggie". Should have known that you already would. Welcome aboard!

Yep, that is how we met.
He and I were sitting near each other at the pool talking kids when a mutual friend walked by and said she knew it was only a matter of time before the two biggest car guys she knows got together. We both just looked at each other & laughed, then we changed from talking kids to talking cars. It's hasn't been the same since.
