FomocoService Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 When you go to order parts and most of the larger parts houses know you by the sound of your voice.. People calling me 'The Kid' because I'm only 28 and them telling me how I ran my tricycle into a barricade at our annual show when I was 3.You remember the fuss over 50s cars taking over most of the shows and not seeing much pre-war stuff.
