[TR] Interesting experience

[Frank Fisher]

BFF and fellow Lister, who i will allow to identify himself, found that if you
let the high school homecoming girls (all 5 of them) sit in your TR3. at a hot
rod show.
you will indeed win their favorite car trophy.
 
but he also lets
every little kid who wants to,  sit in his very nice award winning TR3.

A few years ago I
took the race spitfire to the TRF Summer Party. They had the
car show downtown
that year and there was my beater spitfire parked amongst
the beauties.  A
woman with some youngsters was walking the line of cars, she
was a local and
it looked like they were not rich. The one young man, maybe
4th grade ish had
stopped and was giving the spitfire a once over. I walked
over and asked if he
wanted to sit in it. By the look on his face that was the
last thing he
expected to hear. Really, go ahead I told him as I opened the
door. He looked
back at mom and she gave him the ok and in the drivers seat he
went. He looked
like he just saw santa clause! I'm pretty sure he dreamed
about being a race
car driver that night and it made my day also.
