You can't tell which way the car went by just looking at the road...

                Interesting tip from Hot Car, April 1969 (a British car
magazine).

                "One problem which the TR range have is over-cooling. Unless
a lot of 
                driving in traffic is undertaken, they are happy most of the
year without the 
                fan on at all.  This over-cooling prevents the engine giving
full power."

                Why are you guys having so much trouble? ;-)

                They do suggest an electric fan and claim it pays for itself
as an engine at 
                proper temp uses less fuel.
