Having just replaced the original tunnel in my GT6 with a plastic one that I
insulated, I am curious about how the design of the TR6 differs from my car.  I
never hear TR6 owners complain about too much heat off the engine bay --
what*s up with that?  There must me more to it than the soft vs. hard top
difference ...

After oh, 20 minutes or so of driving, hot air wants to come into my GT6 like
there is just no tomorrow.  My current attempt to beat it back involves rope 
caulk
and an unusual Haitian voodoo ritual.

I also have to wonder what possessed the Triumph engineers to stop cutting
the louvers in the bonnet when they made the GT6 3?
