My daughter started high school this year & loves it when I pick her up 
or drop her off in my TR; it always draws a reaction from a crowd of 
kids. I was really surprised earlier this year to hear one kid shout 
loudly to his friends "Hey! look, that's a TR3". Other than at club 
events I've only seen another '3 on the road once in the past two years. 
But this kid obviously had a connection with them from somewhere.

The kids in my neighborhood beg for a ride every time they see me out in 
it. I usually indulge them for a quick spin around the block. I try to 
get it out once a week or so, but it's been imprisoned in the garage 
since Jan 1. So I agree with you 100% -- get the cars out and people 
will connect with them.
