[TR] BOOK: 'More BS About TR's'

[Joe Laurito]

Geo;

Thanks for sharing the picture. Bob was a gentleman engineer of the old
school and a veritable encyclopedia of TR3 information. I had the good
fortune to spend an evening with him at a TRF summer party years ago. He
gave me a one hour masters degree in how to make a Triumph work right. I
wish I was writing down what he was saying because over the years I retained
most of the WHAT but forgot a lot of the HOW.

When he passed away we lost a great innovator. I wonder why he never made it
into the VTR hall of fame?

Joe

I first met Bob more than 20 years ago when he drove across country from AZ 
to OH to attend the TRA National.  He drove the distance in his TR3A pulling

his TRailer (made out of the back half of a TR3).  As I recall he had cut a 
large hole in the 3's grill to improve air flow to the radiator and oil 
cooler -- doing the modification roadside somewhere in Texas (it was a hot 
June).

He also did some tech sessions at that TRA including one on overheating from

which I took away many ideas that I still use now that I am in the desert.

Before we had the internet and great lists like this, it was guys like Bob 
who did a lot to keep the hobby alive.
