     Some miscellaneous regarding TR3s.

1. I cannot keep a hat on my head at freeway speeds unless a clamp down a
baseball camp to the point where I don't get enough blood to the brain (a
useful side effect for the LBC hobby perhaps). I've tried "sports car" hats
(Kangol and Pendleton) but they fly off. The wind catches them under the
bill and flips them off. What do others wear?

2. It is dangerous to put chains on a TR3? I have been considering using the
car year round.

3. What is best to wear with the top down on freezing days? I have been
considering powder pants (from skiing) and a parka, maybe even a ski mask.
In Tehachapi, we get nice days and subfreezing evenings in the fall. I am
looking for something to keep in the trunk that I can pull out if work keeps
me out late.

4. My car cover ripped itself up in the wind where it was rubbing against
the top of the windscreen on the Tenax. I am considering putting some sort
of slideover cover over the top of the windscreen to prevent chafe points.
It is always windy where I have to part (next to the biggest wind farm in
the world). Anyone else have this problem and a solution?

     TIA,
