Congratulations Joe!
About the wanting to go faster-all the ones I've driven felt like that -but
the ones with overdrive felt better. I think spits really want 5 speeds!
Though I did drive a TR6 in Italy that was restoered and fitted with the 5
speed gear box from an Alfa Spider-bliss me out! I'm still grinning from the
memory!
Happy Trails!
