Congrats Bob...
Advice... don't get carried away and drive long intervals without
inspections... get out and check under the car and under the hood every
few miles when you first start... sometimes there's something that you
missed... a loose radiator hose, fuel line, etc...
Once you've put 50 to 100 miles on the car... you can start treating it
like a daily driver...
(speaking from experience with my TR 4A's)
I think I'd like to have a 3 in my stable one day.
Enjoy the new year!
