I am the owner of a 1979 TR7 that I bought new.  It can best be
described as being like the little girl with the little curl:

	"when she was good, she was very very good,
	and when she was bad, she was horrid."

It's a very entertaining car to drive.  Comfortable, handles well,
runs well when in tune.  I have also had to feed it a new radiator,
alternator, battery, electronic ignition (this replaced four (!) times
all under warranty), front shocks, brake pads, catalytic converter,
muffler, fuel pump, and tires.  The steering rack developed a burr
that had to be painstakingly filed out.  And on and on.

But it runs well for long periods, and when it does, it's a delight.
And as much as I've spent on keeping it running, it's less than I
would have to spend to buy a new car.  Any new car.
