The title says it all. We had a ball. The first car that we saw was a gorgeous LeMans. The owner noticed how taken Ava was with his car and asked her if she'd like to sit in it. ARE YOU KIDDING!! She fell in love with car shows! These are from June of '22.
Nice set. She sure looks as she enjoyed the show.

Two things stand out in your set: !). Ava is a car-nut. 2.) Your name is on the check! Tighten your belt Papa, she's got expensive taste in toys.

Adorable little girl…. Her smile would melt any vehicle owner. I missed the chance 70+ years ago.

Great photos and I was pleased to see that Ava was invited to sit in the car she admired, hopefully this will lead to a lifelong appreciation of collector cars.

I think it is just great to let children sit in your classic car. I have a rare 1990 Toyota Sera, now 33 years' old, with gull wing doors, and when I take it to shows, it's mostly the little boys who love to get in. With all the glass in the "roof" i.e. the doors, it is like being in a moving conservatory. And by the way, the doors were the inspiration for Gordon Murray's McLaren F1, so that he could get the two passengers into the half-way seats. He greatly modified the McLaren F1 for safety and weight, but they work in exactly the same way. It is my daily drive, so it doesn't bother me one bit to let kids climb in. I've attached a photo of me and my car at Simply Japanese, where my car won third prize out of 1500 cars on show, voted for by the participants, not the organisers. We should encourage children into our old cars, that's how the enthusiast of the future is born!

Ava, you remind me of me as a kid. My dad & his best friend took me to many car shows when I was probably your age. You're a very lucky young lady to have gotten to sit in these beautiful cars. Hope your love of cars only grows stronger, as did mine. Great shots!

Wow...great old cars+bicyble! But young Ava is certainly at least greater than the cars! What a nice set of images!

Great "memory" shots for sure Ray. Which one are you going to buy for Ava?
