We can all only hope to have a son or daughter who holds us in high regards like that. I was especially impressed when he said how embarrassed he was to be able to afford such a cool car at his young age when his father would never have been able to when he was that age. Thanks very much.
These films are some of the few that i don’t hesitate to turn on the CC. My heart fills with joy during these father-son stories, having a father who passed away at a young age, as I look forward to when I can pass on the love for cars with a son of my own . Also- that must have been one hell of a grocery store job!!
Comme je vous envie. La Venturi, c’est pour moi un rêve de gosse. J’ai grandi entre Cerizay et Cholet. J’ai vu passer les prototypes devant la maison et je me souviens très bien de l’usine MVS. J’ai eu la chance de conduire une 260 il y a quelques années et je rêve vraiment de pouvoir m’acheter cette voiture un jour. Quelle chance vous avez. Prenez en grand soin !
Tres bein ! Great car . Great story [ the son owning a car his father had a hand in ]and a pretty decent video to boot .
Ahhhh … the Venturi … an underrated and much ignored gem in the annals of exotic cardom deserving much more attention that it gets .
Sigh … what with their French wine … French women .. French cars ( and motorcycles ) and French culture .. damn French .. he says in in an abject fit of envy …. now where did I put that brandy new pair of recently reissued Vuarnet Blue Legend’s ? … Ahh … there they are …. 😎
