Default still smiling.............

I saw a 1967 Sunbeam Alpine today! Gosh, I can not remember the last time I saw one of those. It was a dark blue convertible and in good condition. The driver told me it was his daily driver ... can't imagine driving something so rare.

Still smiling............

In my area there is someone who drives an early 70s MGB to work every day. I give them an awful lot of credit. I won't even use my S as a daily driver and it's only 2 years old.

Isn't that what Max Smart drove? (Right before he dissapeared in the phone booth)

There are more than a handul of Tigers up in my neck of the woods. Infact, you likely see them only slightly less frequently than you do our beloved S2000s. It seems there are an enthusiastic bunch of drivers/owners to boot.

Not sure I'd use mine daily if I had one though!
