Okay here it is in all it's glory the history of Fred as told by his cars...
1969 1959 Ford Fairlane......The worst car in the world.
1970 1963 Chevy Belaire......Drove it all over Northern California with
minimal hassles.
1972 1959 AH Sprite..........My first LBC, unreliable but I loved it anyway.
1973 1970 MGB................Probably the most reliable and pretty (chrome
wires) LBC I owned.
197? 1960 VW Beetle..........Basic transportation, and kind of fun.
197? 1959 TR3A...............I loved this car, great adventures in Northwest.
197? 1967 AH 3000 BJ7........Powerful engine, and reliable.
197? 1959 AH 100-6...........Beautiful but uncomfortable.
197? 1963 TR4................A unreliable and lame attempt at a more
comfortable TR3.
197? 1963 VW Bus.............Slow but fun, taught me to be patient when
driving.
197? 1970 TR6................See TR4 above, but actually fairly nice.
197? 1965 AH Sprite..........Fun car that deserved a better fate.
197? 1967 VW Beetle..........Faily decent, easy to work on.
197? 1965 Lotus Elan S1......My dream car, if I could ever get it running.
1985 1985 Ford Mustang SVO...My first new car, fast! Thought it was a
Cadilac so smooth and quiet.
1989 1989 Misubishi PU.......My first truck, can't live without one now.
1991 1989 Chevy Cheyene......Traded above for this truck as I needed AC
when I moved to Texas.
1997 1961 Elva Courier.......I needed a LBC fix, RacerX fun.
1999 1999 Chevy Silverado....Can't live wihtout a truck, and this one is
very nice.
2000 1965 Lotus Elan S2......My dream car, part 2, and it runs, most of the
time.
I was a bit fuzzy in the seventies, and there is lots of overlaps. But in
all, except for the Fairlane, I liked them all.
Fred T. still have the Elva, Elan and Silverado.
