I find myself attached to this thread for all the wrong but right reasons. I hate that I understand what you all are talking about and know the old cars listed here very well.I have a couple of old British cars that I work on most of the time and occasionally drive. Thankfully I love to work on them as much as drive them.I always think to myself as my wife and I are driving around the lakes in the 67 Spit and I see some old guy with grey hair, a golf hat and sunglass coming the other way in another British car.What a loser, reliving his high school years, and then I look in the mirror and see that is me too.Those old cars just take you back.Now to the FRS… My son and I have one on order.We are going to mod it together and drive autox events together with it.Bragging rights at home.I consider this car to be the Formula Ford of sports cars, rear wheel drive, “low” power, no aero, all handling.A car you can learn to drive in.Much like I did in a FF way back when.That, the looks and the fact that it is a blank canvas is the reason we choose it.My son will learn old school mechanics on the Spit and MG and new school on the FRS.
