[Winchester67]

For me, it was my first convertible at age 17. (first car was a 1966 Mustang, fun but very different driving experience) A 1971 MG Midget...wish quick steering, light weight, precise shifting and exacting brakes. Great teaching tool for a young driver as the 1275 cc engine, despite dual carbs, would not make enough horsepower to cover sloppy driving. If you didn't carry speed thru the corners and have the right gear for the exit you didn't have enough motor to make up the speed. Big fun and a great basis to move up to faster cars. So after 33 years of muscle cars, English Sport Cars and motorcycles I finally got a Cobra replica at age 50. Sports car handling and American V-8 power...it was the right answer in 1962 and it still the right answer for me.
