In 1966 my older brother bought his first car - a 1961 Austin-Healey 'Bug-eyed' Sprite in baby blue. Gutless and primitive, yes, but a revelation after driving in my parent's typical full-size Chevs and Fords. Top down (actually, disassembled), side curtains off and wind in the hair while seemingly blasting through the twisties. Been hooked ever since!
