[samplegirl]

3. ah........................so cute

I love it!!! Bet ya wish you still had it!!!!

[MineralMan]

5. I wouldn't mind. A 1959 Triumph 10. Called the Standard 10 in

England and Canada. Not many of them in the US. Its cuteness was of great benefit to me in my single days. :rofl:

[samplegirl]

7. Well I hear....................

the TR6 is right up there if your in need of a chick magnet!!! :eyes:

[MineralMan]

8. Don't need that stuff any more. I have a wonderful wife.

Back in the day, though, those little cute cars did the trick, and attracted women who were less concerned with material stuff than other things.

12. Something about just seeing one makes me smile!!!

You meet some of the most interesting people at the car shows! Always a story of their own to share.

[MineralMan]

14. That's true. Cars have significance in people's lives.

I actually cataloged all the cars from my life and built a web page on my site that tells a brief story of each one: http://www.osomin.com/mycars.htm

There are other web pages like that scattered around the web, but I don't know of a catalog for them.

6. I used to have this 1964 Hillman Super Minx, too.

For some reason, I had a fetish for small, oddball British cars for a few years.




Had a bugeye Sprite, too.

[samplegirl]

10. I really wanted a Bugeye

but opted for the TR4 glad I did because I'm short and a little easier to drive.

[MineralMan]

11. That's the car I really wish I still had. More fun than

useful, but fun is good. No way I could afford one now, though. I gave $200 for that one in the late 60s, if you can believe it.

9. 1964 Triumph TR4

The Triumph TR4 was a sports car built in the United Kingdom by the Standard Triumph Motor Company and introduced in 1961. Code named "Zest" during development, the car was based on the chassis and drivetrain of the previous TR sports cars, but with a modern Michelotti styled body. 40,253 cars were built during production years. The TR4 proved very successful and continued the rugged, "hairy-chested" image that the previous TRs had enjoyed.

13. I think it's more beautiful than the bride's dress, but that's just me..LOL...n/t
