John S's Journal

Driving the GT has been an absolute joy since I got the HS4’s dialed in and I’m finding every possible reason to take it out. I had the front end alignment checked and adjusted recently which I had put off until it was running reliably. The young guy at the shop looked a bit anxious when he got behind the wheel so I wandered out to check on him. I think we were both equally apprehensive. Me because no one else has driven it since I resurrected it and him, because the car was so narrow and the flat deck alignment area had little room for error with the pit looming large beneath the deck. He was relieved to have me drive it as he guided me forward. I was relieved that he wasn’t doing it. When I came back from my walk to grab a coffee, the car was parked in the shade all ready to go and when I went in to settle the bill, he had a big smile on his face and said the test drive was a real pleasure and he was hoping to find a sports car of a similar era. It was weird having someone else drive it and was glad I wasn’t around to see it but maybe it was inspiration to convert a young person to join the LBC family.
