Thanks for that one Jerry!...The Human comedy is terrific!...so..... in that
respect .....getting back to the TR6 turn signal situation....When I was
commuting 100 miles round trip in Tr6s, I solved that problem easily by
replacing the TR6 doors with Tr3 Doors so that I could use Arm Signals...I
only had trouble if..When exiting the car...I forgot to unplug the J.C.
Whitney 'Towing Light Package' from my left arm...before my foot hit the
ground.
Racer Bud..Spitfire #21..Wooohoo.and Happy New Year Gang
