[TR] young man drives TR like we did.. or may want to..

[P Caffrey]

Ed,
They sure do have grunt and staying power.  When I got my TR at 24 years of
age, I abused the heck out of it.  One time I overheated and was late to my
job.  The problem got so bad I lost oil pressure.  Thankfully, as I exited the
freeway a gas station was right there.  Added water and was on my way.  Never
had any major work done on the engine till recently.  I never could figure out
why these cars got a reputation for being so temperamental.  My car has always
been hearty, with little complaints..

List,

Someone on the FOT list gave a reason for buying a TR and not an MG was that
the TR had "Grunt".

That clip demonstrates "Grunt".

"Grunt" is the reason I talked my dad into trading the family '56
Buick for a '57 TR3 and not an MGA 50 years ago next month.
