Absolutely yes on both counts! Not too long age, my wife, who is by no means
a hot-rodder, drove my TR6 to a get-together while I tried to follow her in
the MGB. Like I said, she is not what you would call a hot shoe, but I had a
hard time keeping up with her. Come to think of it, though, just getting
behind the wheel of a TR6 tends to make anyone into a bit of a hot shoe!
