In the 70s, a friend of mine had a Triumph Spitfire. When he could drive it, it was a lot of fun! But....yeah, he wasn’t able to drive it often. British electronics.

How much electronics can there be in a '70s (or earlier) Spitfire? My '66 Dodge Dart had all of five fuses. I was able to drive it with a nearly dead battery as long as I didn't put the headlamps or heater on.

We now own a BMW Z4.

It’s no better than the FIAT we had 30 years ago...............

Mine was fun. The girls liked it, and that's what counts. Convertible top that lifted off to stow in the trunk. Four on the floor. Wire wheels with knock-off hubs.

But was about as reliable as Jim Lankford.
