It's fun to think back what some of us had "back in the day".
I graduated from high school in 1968 and attended a rural high school in south/central New Jersey. We had a Senior class of about 100 people.
I drove to school regularly in my MGA roadster (assuming I was able to get it started).
We had a little rock band back then and Sam, another band member, drove his MGA coupe to school on most days. After high school he bought a Sunbeam Tiger. He has a Spitfire these days.
My old pal, Charlie Seymour drove a 1098 Sprite. He ended up as my college roommate; many folks involved with old Castrol F1 support team from the 80s would know Charlie.
My chemistry teacher, Mr. Telmos, drove an Austin-Healey 3000. He sold it when he emigrated to Australia in '69.
My other pal, Bob drove a flathead Anglia (with real "aplomb" I might add).
My classmate, Bruce, drove an 1147 Spitfire. He was hands down, the best driver of all of us in our "informal races" back then.
One of the Senior girls, Kathy, drove an 850 Mini.
A Junior girl who I was friendly with often drove her Dad's Morgan to school.
My classmate Warren, who I still see all the time had an Austin 1100 (he eventually moved on to Japanese cars and build a Celica with Ford V8).
Another classmate, Jerry, had a Peugeot 403 painted with flowers, but I don't think that really counts as cool.
So out of maybe 75 kids who drove to school, we had a surprising number of interesting cars.
