My dentist has a Z3. He always wanted a TR. He is evincing all the crazy
signs which we evince. Difference is he doesn't have to do all the nutty
maintenance things which we do. He is young enough to want a sports car, and
affluent enough to afford a new one. And he has a young family and not as
much time for a "car hobby."
But, hell, I didn't do those maintenance things in the '60's. I took it to
the dealer - under warranty. My TR4 was reliable, ran well and never failed
me. After about 3 years (end of warranty) I found that I prefered (grin)
working on her myself. Now that we're both older, she takes a little more
care. But I still have fun. Each generation does its own thing.
BTW - IMO, the Z3 is a good car. It is in the true sports car tradition.
