[TR] Interesting experience

[Wbeech]

"Train up a child in the way that she should go, and when she is grown she
will not depart from it..." (or something like that from the book of
Proverbs).  I always try to let the kids sit in the car, under supervision
of course, it is so unlike anything they would normally experience.

Well done TeriAnn, now we just need to find her a project.

Subject: [TR] Interesting experience

I had an interesting experience yesterday in the grocery store parking lot.
A family was standing around looking at my TR3 when I came out of the
grocery store. Of course as I approached I asked if there were any questions
about the car I could answer.

As it turns out the 14 year old daughter has her heart set on having a
TR3 when she gets older. According to her parents and older brother she has
been researching cars for a couple of years looking for a cute
roadster/convertible that wassimple enough for her to learn to work on.  
She is hoping to find a tired driver that she could restore herself.  So of
course the family had a lot of questions and I let her sit inside one for
the very first time so she could get a feel for the interior. She got her
picture taken behind the wheeland I think became even more determined to
become a future TR3 owner.

Unfortunately they suddenly decided that they needed tobe off before frozen
food thawed and I did not get their contact informationbefore they drove
off.  But it was nice to see that I wasn't the only girl smitten by a TR3
and was willing to take restoring one on.
