#1 Older fart saying hi

Just found this forum. Pretty cool!

I got my first exposure to 1200's in 1980. My girl friend who was soon to be my wife bought it. I was already autocrossing a Honda Accord and found the 1200 was a much better race car.

We autocrossed that car for 10 years untill it met it's end on an icy road. We also built a rally car and raced in the SCCA pro rally divisonal series in the middle '80's. That was the most fun I ever had racing cars!

Have had several more since then but have been without a 1200 for close to 7 years now.

I'll be picking up a 1200 sedan on Saturday! Can't wait... Must be my midlife chrisis exerting itself!

Gary

Hi Gary, welcome to the club. I got my first 1200 in 1982 in Southwest Washington.

My wife also says I'm trying to relive my youth with a new 1200.

Mid life crisis involving Dattos is sure to keep you thinking young. It has in my case it seems to have worked, and I'm a very old fart entering probably the third fourth or fifth childhood. I can't remember which cos I haven't been counting.
Anyway, beer still tastes good
