[TR] TR3 as a 1st Car

[TR250Driver at aol.com]

Hey Guys,
What a hoot!  Took the 3B out for a run today, first to the auto parts  store 
and then to the car wash.  A guy literally followed me into the car  wash and 
proceeded to tell me all kinds of stories of how his first car was a 62  TR3. 
I asked him if it was a B but he really didn't know.  He said he  bought it 
for $450 when he was 16 drove it for a year then sold it for $750 only  because 
a guy was bugging him so much and had to have. He said it was very  reliable 
never had a problem with it. When I popped the bonnet the guys eyes  bugged 
out and I believe we will have another Triumph owner in the near  future .
 
Then I stop at he Booze store to stock up for the upcoming NATC,  picked up 
some Old Leg Hummer for Marty's Brew Swap, ( So Many Legs So Little  Time) and 
dang it the guy there doesn't tell me that his first car was a  TR3A.  He said 
he paid $400 bucks for it for it needed a drive shaft, drove  it for 3 year 
and the bought a TR4A. He was focused on Triumphs are big time  better than 
MG's for he like the torque that Triumphs offered. I just said  variety is the 
spice of life and with MG's you have the rubber bumper and chrome  bumper and we 
all know what we have with our Triumphs.
