Looking through some pictures & found this -->

I was missing my father this morning and figured I'd rummage through some old pictures on my computer. I stumbled upon the one below and figured you guys would enjoy it as well:

​

This was a picture of my cat, Tig, she was wonderful in every aspect. She did have one flaw; she thought she owned the Speedster. She would nest in this car all the time. My Dad was a clean freak (like most of us car people are), so it irked him to see her in the car. We all gave up and it became Tig's resting area. I used to clean the paw prints off the paint frequently - fortunately she didn't have claws (in the front at least). Nevertheless, I thought you guys would get a laugh from the pic I sure know I did.

May they both rest in peace - hopefully in the same style they had down here.

Cheers,

Lance

This was the day the car was delivered to Carlisle, as you can see Reeves personally came to our place to deliver the car. He's a real class act!!

Callaway also provided my Mom, Dad and myself with a winter coat that had the "Speedster" embroidery on it (my father is wearing his in the picture below). Callaway does everything right - gotta love 'em!

Enjoy,

Lance

Thanks for sharing, Lance!

Great thought & great memory! Thank you for sharing that with us. I have to agree if I were the cat I'd take up nesting in that car also.

My black cat likes my black ZR-1 also, maybe cats are smart?!

Lance!

Tom-

I think they're smarter then we give 'em credit for - heck, look at Tig & your cat! My new cat (Zip) will be riding in the Carlisle Callaway Corvette from Carlisle to Florida in a few weeks - she'll be styling, well so will I!

Well at least one of us is smart (her), but I feel we both have good taste!

Have a good one,

Chris-

That was one of his favorites too! I have a few of those photographs floating around, he gave them to me a while back. The smile certainly says it all!

Lance, I have these feeling about missing my father too.

I lost my father in 1996 at the age of 48 when I was 22 myself.

My father was more into music, and I heritated his music collection.
Now and then I just grab a few albums and put them on the turntable.

Man, that gives me a boost of adrenaline.


Nice pics, cherish them.

It's never easy! But it certainly shows you how short life can be - every minute is precious so enjoy it while you're here.

Sorry for your loss, but it's nice you had a solid relationship with him...
