I was one of those responders, and while its true that I now have
"another vehicle" that I use to tow my TR-4 race car, during the
the nine eyars that I was talking about, the TR-3A was my *only*
car. I drove it winter and summer, snow and rain; I even moved
from Maryland to Colorado in it. In fact, for most of the final
year before the "restoration from hell" (you think TeriAnn is
taking a long time? Ha, Isay, ha!), I had taken the windshield
off and drove it with a single Brooklands screen and a tonneau!
During that time, I was commuting from Westminster to Boulder, CO.
about 25 miles each way. The Triumph fit my lifestyle at the
time just fine - and I was certainly older than 26 at that time...
