Hey, be careful here, while I race a TR3 and drive a Spitfire on the street,
I also have a nice early 240Z. I get a lot of looks with that car and very
often someone stops me and tells me the story about how their, brother, mom,
cousin etc. had one and how much they remember the beautiful lines of that car
and
how well it drove.
