1973 Opel GT. Not much of a real performer, but that car had loads of character. I also had an '89 Toyota MR2. Pretty much the opposite of the Opel. Good performer, no character.

Aston Martin DB4 (1st car I ever bought while in the USMC at age 18, and I still have it)
Triumph TR7 (what a piece of cr@p) 1989 Ford Taurus SHO-for a four door sedan, that think ran like a scalded cat. 1929 Rudge Whitworth Grand Prix Ulster 500 cc four valve head motorcycle (factory racer that raced in the 1929 World Cup Grand Prix on the Isle of Man)-got from my Dad and the 1984 911 Targa which I got a few months ago.

I've had a bunch, but the '76 Triumph TR-7 stands out... I owned it at age 20 while living in Montana. I was like a friggin rock star!! Had a Van Halen sticker in the back window. It was red with tan interior (some things never change). Most people thought it was a $75k car. Women were weak in the knees.

I had a 1993 BMW 318i, but thats not a sports car...
I just sold my 2002 VW GTI 337...now that was a hoot to drive. Fast as hell and the 6-speed gearbox was the best I've ever driven. -M |
