yah TR6s are very hard to find in decent shape , i would like a shot at driveing a datsun roadster , i dont think it would be as much fun as the TR6 tho....

i used to work for a brittish car shop up the street , if the brittish built it i probably drove it , we had a few 79-83 xj6 jags with full camaro lt1 swaps in them , man those were fun to drive , but out back we had a junkyard with a few triumphs mgs and jags , tons of stuff back there , if you ever need parts let me know

I'm sure you will some day. I've been fortunate to have been around car enthusiasts my entire life. At this point it would probably be easier to list cars that I have not driven.

Not necessarily. Driving is the fun part, owning is the painful part. My father owned a few exotics. Very expensive.

true that, but if I own them, I really hope I'd have money to maintain them, otherwise I'd just take the easy way out and actually shoot myself in the foot:D

I drove my friend's Dad's Z8 one night. It was the most amazing drive I've ever taken.

I've driven a couple C5's and a very fast feeling Camaro SS...when I floored it it just wanted to go sideways :D I expect my 240 will be my new favorite when I actually get to drive it.

Reminiscing back to my drivers ed class, my drivers ed school gave you a choice of driving a 92' vette or a Kia. they charged 20$ to drive the vette so i went for it. it was very fun, except for the lack of a soft suspension but what are you gonna expect from a 92' Sports car. =]

I owned a 66 Ferrari 330GT for several years in the '70s, even driving it as my primary transport. The car was built with amazing quality (except for an occasional wiring bug). Maintain it properly and it was as reliable as a stone. That was my favorite street car with my wife's Pantera as a close second.

My favorite track car was a friends tube framed corvette with a Rodex 383. Good for about 650 HP in a car with a curb weight of 2100 pounds. It ran in the ASR class. It is my definition of "FAST".
