Tom, you sound like one of us already since since only a triumps@autox person
would be  brave (crazy?) enough to drive an "new" Triumph 300 miles in a snow
storm.  I remember driving from Rhode Island to Rochester, N. Y. in the winter
(the things we do when we're dating!) in my 57 TR3 with some poor excuse for a
top.  I liked driving in the snow because it would seal the cracks and actually
get the car warm enough so that only my upper body froze :^).  I'm sure by now
you've received information on testing your speedometer using your tachometer, a
drill and flex coupling.  If not, let me know and I'll send the info.  Welcome
aboard, hope you enjoy the group as much as I do!
