I would have loved to give my Gearhead father a ride in it but he had a stroke and the Last 5 Years of his life he had dementia and would not have anything to do with me because he thought that I stole his driver's license... RIP Dad and Holden! 🙏😥

    Reminds me of when I used to take my Uncle Jack for rides in my V8 Commie. Nothing like this one but also nothing like my uncle could ever Imagine. He had a stroke and had to stop driving decades before hand and most the time only owned his builders trucks. I remember there was this very steep hill near his place he had gone up 1000 Times in his various Vehicles. He was amazed I could just drive up it with no effort. Went back down and gave the thing a squirt and he couldn't stop laughing and saying it was the most amazing thing he'd ever seen. I'd take him for drives every time I went to Visit. My Aunt would say " take it easy, he has a bad ticker, I don't want him getting excited". When we got in the car He'd say " I'm living on borrowed time , I could have a heart attack in bed and not wake up tomorrow, I want to live while I can. Don't listen to your aunt, she is going to kill me of boredom. " It was pretty funny to go laying rubber off the lights with a very senior and frail looking man sitting beside me but he loved every minute of it. He just couldn't get over how it would pin him back in the seat and go round corners so different to anything he had ever owned or been in before and would always talk about the feeling of it. My Aunt got a bit mad with me once before we went out saying " Don't you kill him getting him overly excited. It takes me a week to calm him down after you take him out." He turned and said " You Silly bugger, he gives me something to live for and makes me feel alive. " I miss him a lot.
