My dad was an English car fan, so I learned to drive with an Austin A40 Sport, Hillman Minx and the Sunbeam Rapier (with 2-speed electric overdrive). My first vehicle was an L-head jeep that stayed mud-clad most of the year. Was a cycle-atic on a BSA Gold Cup and Hornet, Triumph Bonneville, Ariel S4 and a Red Hunter. Rode a series of beach beaters to rusty junk; my favorite was the Olds Cutlass that had only 2nd gear (parking nightmares). Worked at a racing garage in high school and tracked a bug eye AH Sprite, Elva Courier and (once) a Lola. Had a '50 Merc in primer, frenched lights, scavengers; what a girl-getter! Ran through Triumph TR-2/3/6 and AH 100-4/6 and 3000 MKII. Had to have the Honda FH, and owned 3 over the years. Bought the first year Toyota Land Cruiser and the first year RX-7. My only regret was a Lancia 7 that wouldn't stay on the road or off the curb - but I learned stuff doing that. Probably I am forgetting stuff, but you are tired of reading this nonsense now anyway. Bottom line: The AT FR-S is the best bang-on sports car for the buck EVER!
