You sit in the back seat to drive it !?! Remember the 289 V8 Alpine Tigers? How about the intro to Get Smart. He drove one!

I didnt actually think anyone here would know what it was, I was waiting for what the hell is a Morris Minor LOL
I can still remember the smell when ya open the door on a hot day hahaha
karmann ghia, MGBT, alfa romeo spider veloce, the one that scared me was the Corvair FFS there was body twist at Idle, I dont think we ever had a vehicle with the engine that came with it

I actually loved my 64 Corvair Spider with 4 on the floor (just like this one). I installed a Quadrasonic 8 track in that car! NO ONE had a quad 8 track!

I used to go to the Florida City Speedway (there is a gold mine of great pictures on this site) to watch the TQs and Mini Stock cars (old video race).

Lots of cars including Mini Coopers, Anglias, Datsuns, Renaults, Simcas, VW (Beetles and Karmann Ghias), and Morris Minors ran on that track.

Many of the drivers were my friends dads, or my father's friends. Come Saturdays we were at the track. In the 1960's almost no one had roll cages, but by 1972 everyone had them.

I was 10 when this picture was taken. The parade went down Krome Ave in Homestead. The palm trees are gone, victims of Cat 5 Hurricane Andrew, but the Church is still there.

Good memories!
