BWAAHAAAHAAA, you had a TR-7!!!! (points and giggles).

Sorry, but I believe that is the obligatory response when one reveals that he owned a TR-7. I actually liked them. I still do. I always wanted a white coupe.

I also owned a 67 GT-6 MK I and a 68 TR250. Knowing what I know now I would have bought a MK II and made it look like a MK I. And I woulda held onto the TR250. It's actually worth a few bucks. And are truly hard to find. I just never dug the looks. But I loved that little GT-6. That car was my my primary attraction to the Crossfire. Something about sitting in an XFire with it's low roof, and tiny windows brought me back to when I owned that quirky little Triumph. I always thought It looked like a Jag XKE. The Crossfire reminds me of a tiny Astin Martin Vantage. Either way... hog heaven.
