Yes! And they are delightful! I think 21 year old Maggie must be reincarnated. She channels GT40s like she lived through the 1960s. We're going to arrange for them to come down to the boondocks and do some back roads driving. I don't think they would turn down any other offers.
I just wanted to thank Xcentric so much. When we were initially walking around and I saw three GTs lined up I pointed them out to her, and she insisted we walk around and see the other cars first so that she could take it all in. Xcentric spotted me in the crowd somehow and introduced himself, while we were walking around.
I hadn't told Maggie anything prior to going there other than I knew there would be at least one GT, so she wasn't sure how or why I knew him. So we strolled around, made it back to the GT's and she started tearing up, so we walked around for a little more, and I saw Gary by his car, so I suggested we walked back over.
Gary was so kind to explain more about the GT's heritage and design, all while Maggie couldn't keep herself from bawling, it was very emotional for her, and I honestly can't remember the last time I've seen her so happy that she was brought to tears.
I showed Gary my FR-S, and we went back to the GT to swap information so that Maggie could have the privilege of riding shotgun.
I can not thank Gary enough for his time and kindness, and Sinovac for the heads up about Cars & Coffee. I'm going to try and make my way over to the next C&C now that I know about it.
Maggie is, to say the least, ecstatic about having the opportunity to ride in a GT, and I'm absolutely humbled by the kindness of the FGT community. I'll be in touch with you again soon Gary, and if you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to contact me.
I could show them how well the brakes work as we reach crazy speeds in excess of 30 MPH in our lovely Pinellas county traffic. Driving around here blows.
In all honesty, I'm sure she would be excited if the voyage was from the driveway to the garage. Enthusiastic is an understatement when it comes to her and the GT.
