....Never made it to the TR-7...after the Spitfire, had a '69 TR-6 briefly, and aspired to a 7...then found out there was an 8 ....the only one I ever found was clapped out....research showed that the V-8 Triumph used was a real bowser,...and we know how well the rest of the car was made.....the TR 8 was meant to be the salvation of the company....not so much, eh?...........I'm still obsessed with scale speed, the smaller the vehicle, the more realtive speed, ya know what I'm sayin'........ :urban:

I never owned a Honda car, but I had a 1965ish Datsun Fairlady as my first car. Similar to this:

I also have owned a 1976 Fiat X19, again, similar to this:

Other than that, I owned only American built vehicles during my early days.

Greetings:

The best overall bike I've ever owned from Honda-san was the Original V-45 S Honda Sabre. I later owned the V-65, but it wasn't nearly as much fun as its little brother.
