Allright Chris, I confess. The only reason I can whup the beautiful TR-3
driven by the local brit car club pres. is I have a turbocharger fitted to a
hot 1275 motor. Otherwise he'd be kickin my tail big time. I confess that
I've always admired the look of the TR-3 and lusted after one when I was a
teenager. My mentor when I was a lad, and now the PO of my bugeye, just
told me they were 'Bad" but never said why.
