Ok...here goes, and all this shows is that I've got the "bug" worse than
most of you...or as Cheri says, I have less sense:
1969 A/H Sprite (bought at 12, sold at 14)
1966 TR-4A (high school, sold for Spit)
1978 Spitfire 1500 (high school, sold for TR-6)
1972 TR-6 (should have kept!)
1959 A/H 100-6 (beautiful but needed more budget than I had)
1960 A/H 3000 (never on road, but sold for 3x purchase price)
1968 TR-250 (see 100-6 above)
1970 Midget (totalled three times before me and twice with me, sold to
buy Cheri's engagement ring)
1980 MGB Ltd. Ed. (inherited when Dad died...beautiful car, but too many
memories)
1986 Ford Tempo (our first "real" car)
1963 Triumph Italia 2000 #317 (still owned...my dream car, which I plan
to never sell)
1985 Peugot 505 wagon (160k miles without a problem, towed Italia #2
back from Fl.
1963 Triumph Italia 2000 #322 (I had one, so Cheri wanted one, still
own and don't plan to sell)
1990 VW Jetta GLI (hot rod, but tempermental, our 2nd "normal" car)
1972 TR-6 (tried them all, now I'm back with the one I liked best, under
restoration and will not be sold!)
1994 Saturn SL2 (Jetta was worn out, still own)
1973 Stag (Finally, Cheri gets a daily driver, under restoration)
Looking back at this list, I understand why some folks really find me
amusing!
