[TR] New One

[terryrs at comcast.net]

We sometimes discuss on the List those TR items that are indestructible.  My engine block had stress fractures in the webbing, so no.  And the original 50 year old radiator I had reinstalled blossomed a leak in the resevoir recently and had to be replaced.  More or less to be expected, I guess.

This weekend, though, my ancient walnut gearshift knob came apart in pieces when I downshifted, not particularly spiritedly.  Reminded me of a Red Sox baseball bat disintegrating and flying back at an opposing pitcher.  The new one from TRF that came today is gorgeous, by the way.  Almost glad it happened, except I sourced the now-broken one from Fred Perry--who passed away--and had a certain sentimental value.

Next thing you know, the driver will begin to fail.  Does the TRF, Moss or other carry one of those refurbished????
