[TR] So there I was

[Andrew Uprichard]

My Australian Shepherd does the same - sits up with his head in the wind.
The other day my wife and I were stopped at lights and we heard some people
by the side of the road say "Oh, how cute!"  I was going to tell my wife
they were obviously referring to her and not the TR3 (which invariably
attracts the word "cute") when the pedestrians continued "what a lovely dog"
!

"Cute" is very much an American word which I adopted with my citizenship.  I
was once asked what the Irish or English equivalent was and I was stumped.
Any suggestions from across the water?

That's too bad.  We had a Collie/Shepherd mix that just loved to ride in the
back of the TR3A.  The occasional seat was just barely big enough for her to
lay down; but usually she would sit up with her head in the wind.  And
although she would get in uninvited; she never got out until told to.

One of the benefits of driving an unrestored car; I never worried about
damage to the rear seat (which had cheap carpet instead of upholstery).
