[TR] VTR trips

[Bob Danielson]

Bud Rolofson (sp?) installed one on his TR6 back in '99 before he made the
trip from Colorado to Maine for VTR1999.  What's cleaver about his is that
he installed the stalk control arm on the right side of his steering column
behind the high beam arm. Then he had the plastic steering column housing
for a car with overdrive, turned it upside down and used it to cover the
cruise stalk arm. So when you sit in his driver's seat, it looks perfect: on
the left is his blinker and overdrive stalks and on the right, his high beam
and cruise.

Sorry I couldn't make it to VTR this year, but I did a related activity.

I have very long legs and driving the TR6 on long interstate trips is
borderline painful to my throttle leg. I spent those days on the
installation of a cruise control -- a commercially available Audiovox unit
that sell for $129 retail or about $90 on eBay. It takes some ingenuity to
do it, but its appearance is not overly obtrusive and it works wonderfully.
It would work on the whole TR range, TR2 to TR6.

Somebody else installed a cruise of some sort but I don't remember who. If
there is enough interest I'll try to create a way to show pictures, etc.
