Call Hal,
I have told this clock story before, but some new list members might enjoy
it. This really happened. I got my TF in 1986. The clock did not work. I
drove it to California and back on the Ocean to Ocean trip of the
NEMGTRegister, clock did not work. I drove it all around New England on the
NEMGTR Lap of N.E. Clock did not work.I drove thousands of miles to GOF's
etc between 1986 and 1990. Clock did not work.
In 1990, the car was shipped to Britain with 89 others for the NEMGTR
Circuit of Britain. First day out on the way to Chester ,I thought my wife
had fiddled with the clock as the hands were no longer in the usual 8:20
position. She told me I was crazy, why would she touch the clock setting.
The clock, it seemed had fixed itself. I set it and it ran perfect for the
three weeks of the trip. When I picked up the car in the U.S. after
shipping it home, the clock had stopped and hasn't run since. Seems they
only run in the motherland.
