Journal Entry

It all started for me in high school! I fell in lust for the TR6. A friend's sister had just bought a brand new 1972 TR6 and we got to drive it! Not yet graduated from school, no job, no money, definitly no TR! It was years late after getting out of the service and finding work, that I was able to return to my lustfull ambition. My second car after earning enough cash to get a decent one was my 1974 TR6 w/overdrive. Kept her for about four years, then sold her reluctantly to pursue other dreams, such as my wife, skydiving, motorcycling, etc. Then in 1987, having just moved into a new home and having a little extra cash in my wallet, I started looking for another TR. I was very disappointed by what I saw. The condition of the TR's at that time were attrocious. I decided that there were no TR's left, at least in a condition that I could accept and bring back to life quickly! I made the decision to stop looking and just move on, when I drove by a used car lot and saw a pretty decent TR!! I kept driving, then thought I might as well look at it anyway, what the hell. I drove it and there was a clunking noise in the rear end that the lot owner could not explain. The car looked really good on the exterior and the interior was in decent shape as well. I offered him 2500.00 for the car and he accepted. The rest is now history and the car that is shown in my porfile is the same one I purchased in 1987. Everything is still working, the paint is the same, only little bits have been added, but this car runs like a dream and I pull it out of the garage on any nice day warm or cold!
