The art of driving fast slow is all I can say.
I did have a female English teacher my senior year in HS that drove a TR 4 in BRG. Toss up on which one was cuter. I'd have driven either.

I remember when I was about 3-4, my dad (6'2" and ~200# drove an MG Midget, and brought home a big German Shepherd. It was quite the picture.
Before I was born, he had a Bugeye Sprite and an AH 3000. I can't remember if he had any other Brit cars. I know he had a VW bug or two, and a Corvair or two before I was born. I think most of his cars were domestic and or V-8 (put the Corvairs in the previous list as they are/were unusual compared to the run of the mill 60s domestics.
