Bob Lutz quote in R&T

[JFENG]

In a R&T article about the best drivers cars, Bob Lutz was quoted saying,

“1966 BMW 1800 TISA: This was the precursor to the 5-series. TI meant fuel injection, and SA stood for Sonderausführung, or special edition. ”

Otherwise a nice article. Glad to see the Miata show up so many times. It was the first car that gave me the same delightful feeling of intuitive feedback, toss-ability and fun to drive after I had to sell all my 2002’s and buy a proper commuter car for getting to the office regardless of 8” of snow or sweltering midwestern summer heat&humidity and survive getting t-boned by Detroit iron.

Don’t understand why Samatha Tan is part of this group.

Wish Egan had picked the Westfield 11 over the Super-7 (yes the S7 is superior). At least he had a FF that is attainable by the average Joe/Jane who wants to go racing on his list.

Can’t believe an F40 has become so valuable (we all missed the boat on these)

I thought that was a really enjoyable article. Thank you for sharing, John. Lots of interesting opinions from a wide variety of people involved in the automotive world one way or the other.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with involving Samantha Tan. In this era where far fewer young people are interested in cars we can use as many fresh voices as we can get.
