| short version...
   my dads best friend owned a british car garage and dumped a bunch of old 
wrecked mg's and triumphs in our front yard as a 40th b-day prank on my dad. 
later at the party picknick he drove over in a new 69 gt-6....he let my 
older brother drive it so he and i went out....my brother let me drive for 
awhile when we got outside of town i was 13, been hooked ever since. bought 
a fiat spyder (mistake) in 73, it was totaled. used the insurance to buy my 
1st spitfire....have 15 triumphs now, 8 even run! turn 50 in 6 months :( geo
