My sister in law had one many years ago. Nowhere near these kinds of numbers. It was fun driving on the highway. Like, “bat out of hell” fun. But for cruising back roads (not dirt, but winding New England state highways) I would take my brother’s Spitfire every day of the week.

Me…my pick up goes fast enough. I don’t get tickets.

Spitfire and TR6s sure were fun to drive. That is, when they started.

There is a guy in the office next door who has a 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo. I have asked him several times if he is interested in selling it. He always says no. He is the second owner. It is probably still worth around $25K.

There is still nothing as thrilling to drive on New England back roads as a motorcycle. I had a 1979 KZ650 that was set up as a cafe racer(just like in Madmax). Gosh that was fun to drive.
