It certainly has been rewarding for me to have a TR for the street. Tonite
while sitting in my TR3 waiting for the right moment to fire it up and head
home from a "First Friday", three kids came walking by and took notice.
Without breaking stride the pre-adolescent girl in the group commented,
"That car is cold!" Not sure of the meaning of this comment I called back to
the group. "I hope that's a good thing". Her older brother replied
reassuringly, "It is, very!
The ride home was especially enjoyable.
