What a coincidence.  My TR3's condenser died yesterday, while I was hurrying
to the shop to pick up the other car.

But I was basically stopped in the #1 lane in LA rush hour traffic, so I
walked it to the shoulder on the starter.  Wouldn't say it was quick, but I
was back on the road in about a half hour.  Darnedest thing, I could draw a
1/4" spark off the coil terminal, but nothing from the plug wires.  But
changing the condenser fixed it.

Shop closed at 5:00, I got there at 4:59, so I even got to pick up the other
car (which had died the day before!)
