I'm older than my cars. I remember looking at a relatively new TR250 my
friend had and drooling. Wishing then that I could afford one. Wish I
knew then what I know now.

There's a good 'survey'-type question - how many listers ARE younger
than
their cars? I have a 1958 TR3A, and I was born in 1960. I bought my 1976
TR6
with my own money when I turned 19, as I had been working for a
(unionized)
A&P store since before I was 16. I knew what I wanted, even then! (Of
course, if I had known then what I know today, I probably could've
bought an
early-series TR6 with all options (o/d, 3 tops, etc) for less, or
(perish
the thought) some other then-undesirable, now valuable classic. Still, I
don't regret it a bit! Cheers, (& irish beers!) - JD

        Fred, the question is who is older, you or your TR3A???
