This is me, circa 2010; I was 11. There was this car show I begged my mom to take me to. And I'm so glad she did. I was fascinated by this Sunbeam Tiger, something I never heard of. The owner saw this and let me sit in it. And it made my day and passion. Only now do I know how rare this car is.
I sure hope that I'll be able to own a classic some day. And when I do, I want to let everyone touch it and sit in it. It honestly helped grow my passion.
These are the best kind of car people. I hate those who hide it away in a garage and freak out when you get within 15 feet of it.

They sound just as awesome as they look! Ford 260 or 289CI V8s! It is like an AC Cobra except not as aggressive looking. In fact it was help designed by Carol Shelby!

I have not seen a slash (/) in a licence plate before. And that's an Ontario plate. I think I need to get a BMW and put "///M" on it for a plate.

That's great. I love giving people rides in my old cars and I'll never forget the first time I rode in a Morris Minor while on an exchange program in England. I was hooked instantly. Sunbeam Alpines are a great entry level old car. Fairly cheap and not hard to find. And, you can always swap in a big motor at some point.
