Chuck,
I live in Covington. Please email me with more specifics on the location so
both I and my realtor wife can keep our eyes open. She is out in the car
all day and knows TR's.
Jack

Subject: [Fot] update on my stolen TR5 race car
Well, much to my surprise, the trailer stolen Sunday was recovered today in
a quiet residential neighborhood in Kent, Wa, about 20 miles from where I
live in Seattle. Sadly, no car. Thieves went to a lot of work to force
open the drop down back door of the enclosed Wells Cargo type trailer. Do
not know what they are possibly going to do with it. Sure had to work hard
to push it around with the welded diff.
Can sell the wheels [Koenig rewinds in a brown color with nearly new
205x60x15 Yokohama A08s], fuel cell [new this year 12 gallon Fuel safe],
fuel pump [Bosch 160 psi], regulator, aluminum radiator, Optima battery,
Accusump and racing seat. Not much else. They will never get it started
[broken throttle cable] as the PI is very tricky to get the cold start lever
right, and even then it takes a lot of cranking. OH, I suppose they could
also sell he Konis. I expect it will get stripped, chopped up and dumped in
the Sound. Very sad end to such a pretty bridesmaid. She was ready to
race, but has never done yet.
None-the-less, I will find and/or build a replacement and have it ready for
the SOVREN kick off in mid-April. Sigh.
