My TR4 performance pales by comparison....6 adults, 3 of whom were college
basketball players...top up, middle of winter...4 in the front, two in the
back...I worked the pedals and steered, someone else over to my right
somewhere shifted gears for me...obviously, from the campus to the pub.
Only problem was, one (or more) of those basketball players stuck their
head through the back window. Hey come to think of it, maybe that's how
everybody fit in!
BTW don't tell my kids OK?
