I don't think I was unfair. My friend was driving a triumph TR6 - NOT A
HERALD. I stated that he wouldn't take it over 3000rpm, and I'm sure
that's why I could easily out run him in my MGA with one carb (oh, and to
be even more fair - it is an MGA with a 3 main MGB motor in it).
Generally TR6's are a little quicker than me.
