The PO of my TR3B owned it for over 20 years in New England and it was his
daily driver. He told stories of driving to his job at IBM, strict dress
code, in a blue suit and tie and how long it took to clean up after he
arrived.
I had one as a primary driver for a year in Virginia, rainy inside and out,
demisters were a joke. Forget the wipers.

Subject: [TR] thots on side curtains
While working with my side curtains I've been impressed by how sloppy the
worn ones fit as well as how hard it is to get a good tight fit on re-built
ones.
It made me wonder about how many brand new tr-3's were daily drivers back
then throughout the whole year including winter especially in the midwest.
I can't
imagine a tr-3 even all buttoned up sitting outside during a midwest winter.
Rain mostly comes straight down but blowing snow could sift through the
smallest opening and cover the whole inside; then melt. Imagine 3 day white
out blizzards with 25-30 mile winds!
Anyone have these type of experiences?
LOL
