[TR] My Gun Is Quick

[Greg Lemon]

That reminds me of a book "Floorburns" by John F. Carson, one of those book written towards the adolescent /teen audience about a you basketball player growing up on the wrong side of the tracks.  Anyway, although there isn't a TR4 on the cover, I believe his coach has a TR4, or 4A, and he give the kid a ride or even loans it to him, and the kid goes on about how he thinks it would be great to have a car like that some day, how it is so good looking, has great acceleration, sound, and handling, and, he really aspires to having something so nice someday.  Kind of cool.

Judging a book by its cover - one of my favorites (almost makes me wish I had taken French).  Google translates the title as 'The Hatred that Lurks'.

  Odd title for a Triumphs List e-mail, eh?

  In my youth I was a Micky Spillane fan.  In junior high, one of the first "adult" novels I ever read was "The Girl Hunters."  Still ranks as lots of fun.

  This weekend I watched a 1957 "My Gun is Quick."  During the scene where the deaf witness has been murdered, and Hammer follows the killer, there's a long series of shots if him tailling the suspect in heavy traffic on L.A. freeways.  Found myself looking at all those vintage cars on the road, original and unrestored, passing each other, making turns, totally candid.  And if you look close, you'll see a TR-2 smallmouth behind Hammer's car and pulling onto a freeway offramp.

  It wasn't a featured car, just one doing it's little TR-2 business and probably not even aware it was being filmed.

  Just so cool.
