Ed,
They sure do have grunt and staying power. When I got my TR at 24 years of
age, I abused the heck out of it. One time I overheated and was late to my
job. The problem got so bad I lost oil pressure. Thankfully, as I exited the
freeway a gas station was right there. Added water and was on my way. Never
had any major work done on the engine till recently. I never could figure out
why these cars got a reputation for being so temperamental. My car has always
been hearty, with little complaints..

List,
Someone on the FOT list gave a reason for buying a TR and not an MG was that
the TR had "Grunt".
That clip demonstrates "Grunt".
"Grunt" is the reason I talked my dad into trading the family '56
Buick for a '57 TR3 and not an MGA 50 years ago next month.
