I had a friend with a TR7, and it was a great little car when it ran... the
TR8 intrigued me, it might have been a real winner if the Honda, Toyota, or
Nissan had made it (Mazda did the 'classic British sports car' right with
the Miata... pity they never put a rotary motor in it. There's no such thing
as too much horsepower, if the chassis is built to handle it.
