It is my hope and encouragement to all TR owners that they put in V8s, add 
spoilers, install mag wheels, change positive ground to negative, add CD 
players, install electronic ignitions, put in more comfortable seats, change 
the 
steering wheel to that neat one they got at Pep Boys, put in a Toyota this and 
a 
Volvo that, etc. etc. Each time that is done adds value to my original vehicle.

One guy's opinion,
