That car cracked open the door to independence
Madly pedaling
in our early teens. Cousin Marco and I raced
our bicycles
down
into the middle of a street, leaning
into the right turn that marked the beginning of the sloop
downhill toward the center of the city called Goes. Suddenly cresting the sloop and coming head on we seen a Sportscar, we
both swerved to avoid a collision with that
sportscar and as we raced past, I realized I never seen anything like that. I kicked back on the pedals,
standing on the coaster brake and with a locked up rear wheel and a big slide I
came to a stop. What I’ve seen was the most beautiful sportscar ever! Couldn’t
stop looking at it. I searched over the beautiful curves of this sportscar to
discover the name. Stingray I read circling around that car and at the back there
was displayed Corvette. On our way back home a 5-kilometer bike trip I kept
thinking about that Stingray and the way it looked so incredibly perfect.
Caught with the Hemi Bug at a later age
I began to learn about early Chrysler engines with hemispherical combustion chambers, the so-called Hemi engines when I attended a car auction in 2017. A farmer and collector of "everything Mopar" collected a field full of Mopar’s from the forties to the eighties just half an hour south of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Walking through this field with all the collected Mopar metal I read all the information that they had written on the windshields of every single car, Manufacture, year, engine type and vin numbers. I knew hemi engines from reading in magazines but that did not go further than the amazing 426 of the late Sixties and the new introduced 5.7 Hemi in 2003.
