[TR] 65 mph

[Wayne Lee]

I think the most credible data you could gather if you're looking at the
Car's honest capability would come from people who have had some track time
available. Of course everyone can exchange stories, I have a few of my own,
but for any individual willing to be reckless and push the envelope on the
road, they will be equally at ease pushing it with their tongue.
IE: For every Tale there's a Taller One! Did I just make that up?

Joe!  You rarely drive faster than 65mph?  I am going to take the fifth on
this, but I was speaking to a guy at the Battle of the Brits (annual show
for the Detroit Triumph Sportscar Club last Sunday - and well attended) who
had just bought an unrestored TR3 from Canada a month previously.  He had
gotten caught in a thunderstorm and said how he did 95mph to get home dry.

My TR3 has clocked 105 by some reckless individual.  I'd be interested in
knowing of other owners:  cautious cruising or spurious speeding???  And
what happens on this chat page stays on this chat page......

OK gang, I need help. The TR3A is using water and it appears there is  
oily water in the radiator. It does not look like there is water in  
the oil. I did a compression check and have 150+ lbs/sq-in on all  
cylinders. I am assuming a head gasket. Is there anything else that  
could explain the symptoms, and is there any other testing I should do  
before pulling the head? The gasket that is in the car currently is  
about 6 years old. I rarely, if ever, drive the car faster than 65 mph.
