> I can't even fathom using a side screen car anywhere north of Atlanta!
It's been a lot of years ago, but I used to use a TR3A as my daily driver,
even in the winter, when I lived about 150 miles SW of you, Lou.
And yes, the heater was not particularly effective, even after I "hot
rodded" it by rewinding the motor. I actually started a second round of
modifications, using a blower motor from a Dodge heater and some really
aggressive fan blades, but lost interest after I moved to CA. I do still
occasionally drive in freezing weather, but not often enough to worry about.
And I deal with it the old fashioned way, with a leather coat & driving
gloves, plus a woolen lap robe if it's really cold.
Which reminds me, I need new gloves. Anyone bought a pair of leather palm
driving gloves (preferably with Gore-Tex backs) recently that they liked? I
got my last pair at a local motorcycle shop (had to cut the garish logo off
of them), but they don't stock that brand any more.
