Need to fix that rear end, then... unlike prostates, the differential is
amenable to repair without fear of impotency.... <smile>
Funny thing... despite the similar genetics, Spits are more often given
female names, I think, while GT6s are more frequently given male
names... must be that testosterone-laden six cylinder.... <g>

My own belief, having worked on thousands of cars in a lifetime, is that
they all have personalities, named or not... it's Carol Zingone's TR6
which seems to have the multiple personalities... most of us are
fortunate enough to have LBCs with the usual array of temperaments...
won't start when cold, responsive only after being warmed up
sufficiently, and need hands laid on them with great regularity....
