This past summer I traded off one of my TR6's for a TR3 AND at the same
time I bought a TR8 (project). I was afraid the wife might "put the
foot down" but instead she claimed the TR3 as HERS! Well I always say
"if she's happy, I'm happy." I think a feller is luck to be hitched to
a woman who is not only tolerant of LBC's but actually in the fold. And
she says we can share the TR3. She gets to drive it and I get to fix it!
