[TR] 65 mph

[thenicholls at verizon.net]

I have a totally unmodified 72 TR6.  My friend asked if he could drive it.  When he got towards 100 MPH, I almost crapped myself.  Thing was shaking like it was going to explode.

I had muscle cars in high school, don't feel a need to go their, and all the TR people actually drive the cars.

Don't think I have been above 75 since.

I have a very modified TR6. but above 90 I get a little scared. this thing 
is 40 years old. and open. I did 140 in a relatively new enclosed car with 
crumple zones and airbags etc. but this little car . . .
