Well, DuperSude got me.... I was 15 when I got my TR4a. I'm working on
the restoration now. Of course, since 15, I've bought, threased, and
crashed a TR6, restored a GT6 racer, and done two TR6 restos for people
with less time and more money than me.
However, my "young" story goes back to GRADE 1 when I was 6.
The Grade 6 teacher, Phil coulter, had this cool french blue TR6 and used
to whip around a corner in 2nd gear at full throttle along my walking route
to school. I vowed I would have one. A few years later, a friend of
mine's older brother's girlfriend's (dad) had a black TR4a that she drove.
I vowed I'd have one of them too.
I got them in the reverse order. I figure that means I've been a TR junkie
for 23 years now. I'm 29.
