I’ve owned cars from and belonged to a number of sports car clubs – cars made in US, UK, Italy and Japan – over the years and I can tell you that members of each brand are ga-ga over their rides. And they deserve to be, they are all very fun and pretty darn reliable when compared to average cars of even 20 years ago.
