Overheard at the coffee shop....

[Gliderman8]

I took my TR6 out for a ride this afternoon and ended up at the local coffee shop. This establishment is located right near the college in town. When I got into my car to leave, I overheard one of the co-eds announce to her friends
"That's the kind of car grandfathers drive, and my grandfather had one"
Grrrrr

Or, I hate it when I see some old person and then realize I'm looking in the mirror.

Thanks for the reality check guys

Elliot, Kid didn't know what it was either, just knew Grandad had one. Grandad didn't give it to him either. Don't feel old, you can get in and out.

Larry- You are right this college age girl didn't have a clue as to what kind of car it was... all she knew was that it was "old".
Heck, if she saw doc's Alfa she would think he's my dad :smiley_simmons:

I expect to pay dearly for that... doc doesn't forget!

Her boyfriend probably doesn't have a car, just a skateboard.

It also has too many pedals for that kid to drive!

 

[LarryK]

You got that right!

So if sold by a dealer today it would have on the invoice "MAT equipped", (millennial anti-theft), +$100....

I work at a college. We had a live in advisor that overheard some female students asking who the old guy is. He looked around and realized it was him! He was 28 years old at the time. Yes, 28, not a typo. BTW, my granddaughter loves the Healey. Can't wait to drive it. I think that they're making a come back.
