[net.auto] The Joy of Ragtops

dxp@pyuxhh.UUCP (D Peak) (04/27/84)

 Currently constrained in a coupe(77 z28) I miss my old ragtops
they were in order :

   Type of auto                                   Bought  Sold
   ============                                   ======  ====
   1961 Mk II Austin Healey Sprite                 1970   1974
        948cc engine that I rebuilt to
        1210cc and then supercharged. 
        Most fun for the money I spent.

   1975 Austin Healey Sprite Mk IV                 1975   1975
        1275cc This car was new ,nice,shiny
        but it wasn't me so I sold it and bought

   1969 Chevrolet Camaro RS                        1975   1976
        This was the nicest cruising car for
        just horsing around in.I had to let it
        go when I went out to Iran on a contract.

   1971 Plymouth Barracuda                         1977   1978
        Another good cruiser but did not feel
        as "solidly" built as the Camaro.When I
        got a contract in the USA I decided I was
        not going to sell the car in case I was only
        here a short while.But after a year I did sell
        it ,I probably should have shipped it over here.



        As I said earlier I'm currently confined in a coupe 
        but now that springs finally here I think I'll start 
        stealing the keys to the wife's Fiat X1/9 to get my
        fresh air "frills"  (<--ask a cockney).
