Well, as I got into my 30s, I discovered that the cars I dreamed of as a
youth were now affordable!!!!
At present I am 42 years old.
I have an 86 Mazda RX 7 (why get rid of such a nice ride?  It has lot's of
miles left in it!)
An 83 Chevrolet Van, (a conversion rig.  looks like a bordello inside!!!!LOL)
But more to the point:
69 MGB-GT 27 years old (under restoration)
68 MGB Roadster 28 years and need a new home.
80 TR7 Roadster 16 years old (I loved this car, but it has almost convinced
me that the british should stick to brewing tea!)
But this is what will get your attention.
1946 Allard L type touring car.  One of the first Allards built.  This car
is almost unique because it has an all steel body one of 7 Allards so built.
50 years old this year!!!!
1954 Allard Palm Beach Mk I.  This is my baby.  400 hp Chevrolet small block
installed.  Takes the danger out of having Vipers on your rear bumper!!!!!!!
This car is 2 1/2 months younger than I am.  I was born 2/24, this car left
the factory on 4/6 1954.

BTW I also have
1965 BSA 441cc Victor
1968 BSA 600cc Goldstar (it is a 500 with the factory 600 kit)  This bike
has 1500 miles on her and still has the original tires!!!!!!
