Remember your first ride in a sports car?

How could I forget !

March 1969 - going over the River Severn on the then new bridge which goes into Wales in the UK.
My cousin had recently bought an Alfa Romeo 1300 GTA (the lightweight alloy bodied job) and while I was over visiting he asked me if I wanted a spin - whoo what a car. I remember watching the tacho sweeping up to the redline in every gear except 5th - something no other car I had ever been in could do that!
It took me another 2 years to buy my first Alfa 105, after which I had another 6 over the next 20 years.
When I last spoke to my cousin, he still owned the GTA - probably worth a lot of money now....

I was a young Lieutenant stationed in Iceland. I had seen a 1956 Austin Healey driven by another officer back in the states and I decided that I had to have one. I bought a 1957 100-6 from an Icelandic dealer and had it shipped back to New York. Terrific little sports car and loads of fun to drive. I eventually bought a 1960 Mark ll and later a 1965 3000. Sure wish I had kept one of them.

my dad bought a 1970 Jaguar XKE convertible when he came back from vietnam. my brother & i were born several years later. once we got old enough, we would sit on the rear decklid with our feet behind the front seats, holding on to the headrests. mom & dad would drive us all over the place. wonderful time.
