Thanks Bob,
It takes a lot of time and effort (and money) to make a new car to perform

I'm sure the TR6 will make you happy sooner or later.

Marcel,
It sure looks good! I'm sorry that you had problems. I know you were on your
way to a good finish, and you haven't had much time to get used to a
different car. Best of luck.
