I honestly don't see how an Amphicar can go fast enough to keep you dry th=
rough a thunderstorm. On the other hand, check current prices on Amphicars =
v. TR3s; the difference will buy you a very nice clothes dryer...and a fair=
portion of a nice tidy little bungalow to keep it in! So...who really won?=

Many many years ago, I took a road trip in my TR3A, along with a buddy in a=
n MGA.=C2=A0 I don?t think either of us even owned a top; let alone had roo=
m for it along with the suitcases and so on.
Driving down US 1 on the east coast, we saw a huge thunderstorm heading our=
way.=C2=A0 I apologized to my friend, then floored the TR and like the old=
song, wound it up to 110, knowing his MG wouldn?t top 85 on a good day (ma=
ybe downhill with a tail wind).=C2=A0 I stayed dry, guess who got soaked!
We?re still good friends after all these years, but he gave up on the MG an=
d bought an Amphicar instead.=20
