[TR] Triumph makes the list of 50 worst cars

[Joe Curry]

I didn't notice that he grouped the TR8s in with the 7's or even mentioned
the 8 for that matter.  Seems like the TR7 engine is what has gotten the
biggest amount of ctiticism over the years from multiple sources.  If I
recall it has to do with overheaating problems related to thehead and that
is also what has been the main knowk on the Stag engine as well.

P.S. I personally like the styling of the convertable body.  It is the roof
line design that turns me off the hardtop.
