    I brought 03964 to our annual multi-marque show in the Finger Lakes region on Sunday. Fellow F-Chatter JimMcC and his lovely wife stopped by to say hello. As usual, the Dino was a hit, but the high point of my day occurred when a small boy, about four years old, approached the front of the Dino, walking ahead of his parents. As he pointed at the Dino, he said: "Mommy, it looks like a rocket!" Right after he said that, a friend of mine, standing next to me, proclaimed: "HE appreciates it!" I never tire of the reaction of children to the shape of the Dino. It is for them a true "Back to the Future" moment. Fred p.s.: When reading this post as it popped up upon submission, I noticed with great pleasure that, quite fittingly, it is post #246! f

    I remember when I was a little kid going out with my folks to eat and seeing a yello Dino GT in the parking lot, I'd rush through dinner - skip dessert just to run out and admire the beautiful little car.

    Everything else has changed, but I still will pause my priorities to go look at a Dino.

    I can think of no better course of action, and I myself will go out of my way to look at a Dino wherever I might spot it. It's kind of like finding a rose in a color that you've never seen before. You have to admire it for its own uniqueness. Fred
