Greetings,
I agree with Scott Tilton. Owning a TR when I was young was a good experience.
I would
know very little about cars were it not for the TR. Sure I wanted it to
perform, but it was my
"dream car", I knew what I had my hands on (the pluses and minuses), and I took
very good
care of it. I kept on top of its maintenance and it rarely let me down. After
over 20 years I
still own it.
