talks about the sports cars I have owned in the past 45+ years. The car that started the sports car fever was a 1962 Triumph TR4 in British Racing Green. I owned it for about two years and sold it when I got married. Later, after two kids about 1968, I bought a well used cheap BRG 1963 MGB. It ended up needing a engine rebuild which I did myself. But I had fun with it as a daily driver for 3-4 years after the rebuild. In 1973, I bought a 1972 Triumph TR6 in dark chocolate brown with British Tan interior. It was an upgraded TR4, but the 6-cylinder engine was a disappointment with the US emission equipment strapped on. From about 1978 to 1985 I went without a sports car. In 1985 my wife bought a 1985 Toyota MR2. The MR2 was a poor man's Ferrari. We keep that car for 18 years. The next adventure was to restore a 1962 TR4. There is a very detailed section about the on-frame restoration in 1998-2005 of my red 1962 Triumph TR4. The next four sections are about a string Mazda Miata's I have owned. The latest is another Miata. This is a very special car... the 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata. It has all the wonderful attributes of a Miata with a new more powerful factory turbocharged engine with lots of torque across the entire RPM range. It also has every Mazdaspeed factory enhancement kit available at the time. This the best Miata ever made including the third generation NC (2006-present). |
