    18 Years

    18 years. That's the amount of time that separates these two pictures. My son, James, in our MkIII, and now in our MkIV. So cool!

    Would love to see pics like this from our forum members who have been around for quite some time!

    Have a great weekend, everyone!

    Built an early MkIII years ago, sold years ago.
    Got Corvettes out of my system, and now back after 18 years to build a MkIV.
    MkIV Complete Kit Ordered 4/18/23, Delivered 7/11/23, 427 Stroker (in the process of building it now), EFI System - Holley Sniper 2 and Hyperspark, or maybe Edelbrok Pro Flow 4...undecided, TKX, IRS, Wilwood Big Brakes

    It certainly makes me feel old! But, I'm going to be 51 in June, so I guess I'm not doing too bad. I got a few good years left to enjoy the new build! BTW...I have Coyote parts for you.

    I am putting some pressure on the CFO! Even if I don't have a Coyote or the Coupe it's going in yet!

    12 years separates these pictures, Ollie is now 17 years old:

    zzzollie and dad.jpg zzzOllie 2024.jpg

    My son is not really a car guy, in the sense of building / swinging spanners. I think that first photo was probably the last time he helped to work on it! However, now that it is done, he really appreciates how special the car is and certainly enjoys coming along for the ride. Great times.

    Car is in exactly the same location in both photos, however, the dingy garage in the first photo, is now transformed into a teenage retreat / man cave, with decent lighting, HVAC, TV and flooring.

    Cheers,

    Nige

    Mine did not have interest until he got one of his own.
