There's a guy in the Utah club that rides around with his English Sheep dog in
his TR3, quite a site.
Always invite what I perceive to be responsible kids to sit in the car if
parents are near by.
Also have an old Land Rover that gets to a few shows "cool Jeep, Buddy!" Sign
on the front says "all kids welcome". They turn every knob and flip every
switch, it's virtually indestructible. Lots of fun for all ages.
Not sure how I ended up in a TR3, everyone I knew had a different LBC, maybe I
was just trying to be different. I still am....

RE: Kids and TRs--My first sports car memory was from when a was about 5
years old give or take I would wake up before everybody else on the weekend
and go roam around the neighborhood (different times) One fine morning I
happened upon a TR2 or TR3, the shape burned into my little blank slate brain,
a cool little car that looked like I could climb in and take it for a spin.
It was just around the corner, and I don't remember ever seeing it but that
one morning, which was from memory one of those first warm mornings of spring
when the air was fresh and clean. Yes, I think the cars leave an impression
on kids.
RE: Big Dogs and Sports Cars--One of my first jobs was at a place called
Foreign Auto Parts, they did service and repairs also, I was a parts runner
and clean up guy, anyway, the owner had an Irish Wolfhound that hung out in
the shop everyday and went was regularly transported in the owner's daily
driver Alfa Spyder, the dogs head stuck out over the windshield and they were
quite a site running around town.
