"Yeah, that would've gone right over their heads," Blake says, chuckling.
He glances over at the man and grins. He had been sure when he offered it that the man would already have someone in mind or some place in mind for his education and didn't think he'd take him up on it. But he's glad that he did. While they don't have the set up that the guys back home do, they'd found a decent place with a garage that they could do most of their own repairs out of. Whatever they couldn't do, they'd made friends to borrow some shop space when they needed it. And in return, Austin and he did tattoos and artwork for them.
"You know, I don't hear that too often. They usually come to LA for Hollywood and to be 'in the scene'," he says. "Yeah, I'm more than happy to teach you. What I may not know, I know people who do. Guess you could say, cars and racing have been in my blood since high school."
He was excited to teach someone. It's been a while since he'd been able to share his knowledge like that with anyone. Les and Abby back home were probably the last. And, Blake could admit to himself, he was attractive and had a sense of humor - it would be too easy to spend time with him.
"I'd say so. Great to meet you, Nico," he smiles. "How about this, you and I race tonight and we can see where your skills are?"
