I can't count the number of kids that have photos taken behind the wheel of my former GT40. Hell, the upholstery is durable and cleans easy. It only takes a moment to make a memory some of these kids will remember forever and possibly steer them from the "dark side"
However one memorable event happened at the same Carlisle show mentioned earlier. Hot, sunny day and the car was displayed with the door open. Dad asks if his three year old can sit in the car for a photo. "Sure" I answer and dad picks up Junior who is dressed in shorts and tank top and drops into the seat.......onto the thermonuclear hot seat grommets! Kid screams bloody murder and dad can't understand why said kid is trying to scramble out of the car and not sitting still for picture! I ran into the same guy at another event and he told me he was the father of the screaming kid. I asked if the kid still had grommet marks on his skin and dad said "Nah".
