@danjohnston3422 Жыл бұрын
An E-Type isn't a car. It's a soulful thing, more a personality than a mechanism. Exquisitely beautiful, fast by the standards of the day, a brilliant, brilliant thing, even more so beacuse they're epehemeral - prone to rust and breakdown. They're the cherry blossoms of the automotive realm. They require regular sacrifices of blood and treasure to preserve, like having a French mistress. Gotta love one to stick with owning one. But every one restored is a "life" saved.

Back in the '80s I owned a '67 2+2; 4.2 with manual gearbox; British Racing Green in very good physical condition but need some mechanical work (of course). After a few years of fun I sold it for $6500; biggest automotive mistake I've ever made. I really wish I kept it and eventually restored it; loved that car.

I didn't like how the son acted towards his Dad & kept saying "just for it for your Dad, you can't put a price on love" & I was afraid the car wouldn't be finished before his Dad died. I'm glad it didn't turn out that way. All apologies for being so silly & emotional. Keep making such great films my friend.

Love the father/son love. I understand the XKE design appreciation also: I built a model of the coupe back when I was 14 but went the Corvette route due to the TV series "route 66". My dad loved big Cadillacs but never bought one...I guess he didn't feel good enough about himself to allow him to own one. I bought up a few good used ones, each better than the previous ones. Because of the 'Northstar' reputation, I got them cheap enough and, with carefull maintenace and easy use, never had any major problems. I'd take him with our dogs to the lake and drink coffees. Sometimes my younger brother (RIP) would join us. Good memories. When he passed, I stopped using the Caddies and sold them. Dad had bought myself a brand-new Mazda-3 in 2012...very 'out of character' for him as he hoarded money all his life. My wife used it to commute to her job until he passed. That very Mazda now has a space in our 4 car garage where it is cherished and babied (car-cover, battery-minder) as well as any of the C-1 and 2 Corvettes I had over the years before old age and hip replacements made them unusable. I still have the '07 Mustang GT convt. that I bought used and, luckily, happened to be an automatic. He enjoyed the many times I took him to car-shows and cruises with our dogs (except the odd times when he was miserable and angry). I just rode with it and was glad that both my brother and I were there for my Dad throughout his life.
