[TR] Does people remember me?- Paul Dorsey, '60 TR3A

[Andrew Uprichard]

Welcome back, Paul – I think there are still a few old codgers who are still on the list.

 

About 2 years ago, there was a thread, “whatever happened to Paul Dorsey?”, but no-one knew.  I guess we thought you would be found under the hood of your TR3 some day………

 

Good luck with the restoration!

Bad day: Had an OD gearbox in a car but with the harness disconnected  Test drove it down my driveway in second and didn’t realize it had somehow slipped into overdrive and was stuck. Went to turn around at the bottom of the driveway and…..well…….you all know the rest.  It’s true what they say about putting a car in reverse with the overdrive stuck.  Oh well.  My wife just reminded me how I say this is part of the fun of owning Triumphs.

I cast a net on the Triumph site asking if others remembered me.  Thanks to the guppies that answered!

 

I am gussying up my sore frame to try and restore my TR3A, 1960.  My ignorance in those days stays with me and sometime my posts stirred up hornets nests.

All I can say to myself is, Welcome back, Paul!  Thank you.  

 

I've kept my non running TR3 in the back yard, under tarp till now.  Somebody told me last week that with these humid Georgia summers that that was the worst thing for a car.  I thought to myself, now why didn't somebody from the list tell me that back in the '90's?

 

I guess it's time to put up or shut up.  I guess it's time to finish restoring it.  Let me go and untarp it, wish me luck
