My 1st car 65 Spit and my 2nd, 60 TR3A which was listed in the local classifieds as " instant hobby, $100.00". I was hooked.

Nice!

My dad owned a Healy 100-6, and my mom had a Bugeye, but they no longer had them by the time I came along.

Cool pictures!

My parents were never into British cars but they did have what I considered some interesting cars as I was growing up and several convertibles which helped spur my interests.

196? Ford Ranchero
1963 Buick Riveria
1957 Corvette (Family of 5 in a 2 seater for weekend drives)
1969 Olds Toronado (front wheel drive with 455!)
1976 Fiat 124 Spyder
1980 Rabbit convertible
