Yeah, tough shit.
He drove the 71 a lot in throughout the 70's. He bought the 79 because it was slightly more reliable than the 71(we are talking about hand built British cars). But as he got older he only drove them on Saturdays and Sundays and by the late 80's he was in his late 70's and had a hard time getting in and out of them. My…
Nah, me, my brother and my dad have all worked hard to NOT be like him!

This is the one that got away. A 1985 Celica GT-S hatchback 5spd was for sale at a local lot in 1991 for $5000. I waffled, I went back and forth. When I finally decided to take the plunge, the car had been sold.
“In case you didn’t know it, Venezuela is a country in turmoil at the moment.”
Quick thinking!
The letter was in German and my wife translated it, but I don’t remember if they put a time frame on it or if it applied to all of Germany. It has been over 10 years.
