Mike & Andy (& listers),

Are your observations made with or without the 'wind wings' in place on the
sides? When I bought my TR3A last year it came without the wings, and both
my wife & I noticed a strong amount of wind resistance. After purchasing the
wings from Moss at 50% off (for their 50th Anniversary sale), we both
noticed a huge improvement. These things aren't just for decoration! Anyway,
I still don't know the relative amount of wind from one side to another, but
the absolute amount has decreased sharply. Cheers, JD

        Andy,
        I have rode in both places and I get a lot more wind in the face on
the
        passenger side. I was not saying I get more wind from the right side
when I
        am driving. When I started driving these things one of my passengers
        complained that it was really windy and I didn't think it was that
bad,
        until I rode in the passengers seat. It has puzzled me ever since.
