[TR] My TR3s 65 and our 39th

[Greg Lemon]

Happy Anniversary to the TR3.  Also kudos for using the car as a daily
driver.  I drove my 4A as a daily until 1990, when the interplay of very
hot summers and wearing a coat and tie to work didn't mesh well with a car
with no air conditioning, though the 4A was a beast starting at temps well
below zero and cutting through the snow pretty well too.

The TR3 looks great.  Hears to many more years of it being used and enjoyed.
