Hey all,
Hmmm... I am a "college guy" TR6 owner; it's rusty as hell, but
runs great. I keep her up all by my lonesome (OK, OK, with occaisional
(uh, frequent) assistance from my mechanic). In fact, I drove the car to
Florida last summer, only three days after I got it. NO TROUBLES the
whole way! Got me home, too (I live in Central Illinois).
As for the top down bit, I too drive around the backroads here
sans wind-protection. The farmers, in their heated tractors and pickups,
give me the strangest looks as I zip past on an "S" curve in gloves,
leather jacket, and Carhart cap with earflaps in place. My best
temperature was about eighteen degrees w/o windchill; that's about as
cold as it got last year (and EVERY morning, the '6 would start!).
Anyway, my car is a daily driver, and the exhaust note still
turns more heads than that of the Frat guys in their mommie's BMW or
Porshe. I love it...
As for Stero-types, I'm a McIntosh man: tube power and pre, with
a vinyl collection to match all others. A few CD's, too... No wonder
I'm poor: TR6 parts and vacuum tubes keep my pockets empty.

Sorry, no butt-length hair...
Oh, and Marcus: what's this with the MGA? Another project, maybe? Get
on it!
