I have to echo Shane's comment here. I own a TR6, but thanks to the
various discussions on this list about Spitfire and GT6 issues, I feel I
have developed a much better understanding and appreciation of these
models. The same, of course, could be said for the TR3, 4 and other
model discussions.
It's nice to hear how those with other models tackle problems, and see
where their solutions carry over to another model of Triumph
