        Don, as a Mike Jackson admirer, I gotta tell ya his TR is fast as
        (nope, faster than) stink... I recall with great enjoyment his knock-
        down-drag-out races with Charlie Kates' TR4 at Mid Ohio a few 
        years back... And just last year the ALL Triumph feature at 
        the VSCDA's Fall Festival at Road America, the only Trimuph faster 
        than Mike's 3B was a certain ex-Kastner Trans AM Vitesse...

        Hell, with guys like Mike Jackson about "The glory don't 
        JUST exist..." 

        It screams, stomps and carries on with total abandon...
