lancylad Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 They will have to drag me kicking and screaming out of mine. I waited to long and now I'm gonna squeeze every ounce of wind in your face, hurricane in your ear, and a smile so wide you push your ears to the back of your head...enjoyment I can get, till the day I cant squeeze myself in there.

readysetgo Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I never had "toys" growing up...motorcycles/dirtbikes, boats or jetskis...all my friends did, and they finally talked me in to getting the one toy I'd talked about getting for years...I bought my seven last year at 29 years old. The best money I've ever spent(spending). Some days it owns me. but I love her... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimrankin Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Just something about those classic English sports cars..... When I was just out of High School I had a friend who bought an original Mini (when it was still a fairly "new" used car) and all of us Chevy V8 nuts thought it was a joke, until we got blown off on some twisty CT back roads where our 283's and 409's got turned into cast iron sleds.LOL. He had collected a few posters and books of English "race" cars, a few of which were original Lotus 7's but mostly Jags, MG's, AH's and Mark's long forgotten There were several cars from those books that almost got me out of my Chevy's and started me yearning for rides I couldn't either find or afford at the time. Now it's decades (several) later and I still love to look at and drool over those 50's and 60's English sports cars. Slowly working my way through my "English automobile bucket list" and have had three MGA's (1500, 1600, 1600 MkII) the Jag I have now (and will probably still have when I'm dead), and two modern copies of old "dream cars". Got a few to go but really wish I had taken the plunge earlier. Thirty years ago I passed on two really cheap deals on a Morgan and an MGTF in one year because I was too busy with starting a business. I still wake up at night from kicking myself!! If your thinking about a 7, or some other "classic" or reproduction of one take a hint from the Nike commercials and JUST DO IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancylad Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 You dont just drive a "7" or any other Classic car, you become part of it.. if only all those other drivers knew what we were feeling, then they would understand our foolish Grins..

So well put and the truth. I think eveyone who owens a "7" or any other "Classic Car" will agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
