Ok This reminds me that I'm older than dirt. This was my ride back in the early 60s For those who don't know, it's a 50 Olds club coupe, very valuable now and then. The plate says it all. :)

After I sold the Olds it wasn't long after, that I bought my first British roadster. This is a 1959 TR-3 One drive through the twisties sold me on this one. It was 1962. This is the main reason I'm driving a Z4 today. Once it gets in your blood, there's no turning back. God I loved that car.

Yup - been there and did that. My first "sports car" was a '55 Thunderbird that I drove in the mid 60's but it was mostly set up for drag racing. I didn't get hooked on true sports cars until my father bought a 1968 TR-4.

Great cars, had two TR-4s a 62 and I bought a new one in 1965, red with wire wheels. I soon began carrying a trunk load of Lucas electrical parts. That was back when cars were actually fairly easy to work on, especially the Triumphs.
 
I had a 56 Corvette, a MG-TD, and a Midget. These cars remind me of my Zed but in those days I actually had hair that the wind blew through. :(
 
Thanks guys. With all the young 18 year old airmen coming in fresh out of boot camp I was beginning to feel old. Now I feel young again :poke: :poke: :poke: :poke:
