Remember Arnold Special as I tend to watch this stuff with great
interest...usually from a distance due to lean billfold. Early 90s, I
believe. Thought it might have been to Colorado for awhile...at least I
think it was there. Interested if anyone has more poop on this.
Seemed to have purchased another TR3A-In-A-Basket. Chassis on wheels
"totally restored". "All parts to assemble engine", etc. Will likely make a
run through Ohio to Wheeling, WV after Christmas to pick it up.
The accident in September must have jarred brain and ability to reason.
Later,
Joe
