Must have been about 1981-ish. My dad decided that I would get into too
much trouble with my '74 260z (never did get a speeding ticket in that
car!) He had friend who dealt in sports cars. After sitting in an
E-type Jag, playing with the rocker switches and dreaming, I saw a
little blue convertible in the corner. My first roadster - a 1970 1600.
(He kept the z for a while!)
Later I saw the Alessi brothers auto-xing a race-prepped 2000 - knew I
had to get one some day.
My other first - I bought the first 1500 I ever saw from Mike in San
Francisco - 1994-ish.
