As a kid (I would have been 9 or 10 when the TR7 came out)
I thought they were sweet. Also Cameros, Firebirds, and E-types.

Speaking of trick alloys, throw a set on our '62 TR4s and, with
today's retro styling, a TR4 looks thoroughly "modern."

I was filling up my car at a station next to University of Denver.
A guy with more rings on his face than I have compression rings
in my engine strolled by, "sweet ride" he said.  ;-)
