My Former Toy!

About 12 years ago I decided that I needed a sports car...specifically a British made convertible. So I set out on Craigslist to find my new toy and I did.  I found a 1972 Triumph Spitfire, which was a lot of fun to work on and take out on the weekends. 

Unfortunately, I had an extremely difficult time getting it through the annual smog checks and my fun turned into frustration with a big expense. So, I decided sadly that it was time to part ways with my toy and I offered it to a gentleman at our church who has collected Triumphs through the years and was thrilled to get it. 

So I got an email from Tracy yesterday to let me know that Tom had brought the Spitfire to work at the church and I should stop by and take a look.  So on the way home I did stop by and there sat my former toy, looking great with new chrome bumpers and no more smog equipment that made it almost impossible to get through emissions, because now the car qualifies as a Historic Vehicle.

It was kind of bitter sweet to see my old toy...but now I have my new toy that takes just about as much time and energy but enables Tracy and I to get away and enjoy Arizona!  So if you happen to see this little Spitfire on the streets of Scottsdale, give Tom a wave!
