Did Lemons with one. The car did pretty well considering it was essentially
stock. I always wanted to duplicate the Huffaker TR8 coupe but it would be an
expensive endeavor. Cool car though.
One of the reasons I don't have one is my wife can't stand them. She dated a
creepy guy with a TR 7 back in the day (no, it wasn't me, I was the creepy guy
with the TR6) and just can't get over it.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.....
