[TR] tappets

[Ted]

Actually, if you want to hear a loud TR, you should have heard [though I
suspect many TR-listers have at previous VTRs] the Roadster Factory's TR4
Lemans 929HP car yesterday in front of the Sheraton's overhang.  If you
think the car is wonderful to look at, you should hear it in full rev in an
enclosed space.

Dave Hutchison was giving hand signals to Kirk from South Carolina as Kirk
adjusted the carb mixture.  They both have to be deaf after that
experience.  It was akin to listening to a jet fighter, but quite a kick!

Kirk commented that the car needed some new fuel, and quipped "that fuel
smells like varnish,... ah that car has original fuel, that's what it is,
original fuel..."
