Thanks for sharing that, Mark.

I=92ve been meaning to tell you that at least a piece of your Rust Rocket l=
ives on. Back in 1999 you sold me the plenum section off that car. It trave=
led 1600 miles this summer.

One of my early experiences with Triumphs was back in high school.  A
fellow who worked at Ed Shock's Hobby Shop in the Broad Ripple area of
Indianapolis, Melvin Chestnut,  had a red TR3 with a "racing head".
Bill Hickey and myself helped get it running.  I remember the first test
drive with the three of us in that car.

I need a red TR3.

Mark,

Thanks for sharing the clip. I to get a lot of looks when I drive my 3, 
4 and 6. Most have no idea what they are. My 3 is pale yellow, 4 is Spa 
white and the 6 is French Blue. Never been a fan of red on cars for some 
reason. But that 57 looked great.

Bob

My brother bought a TR3 this summer, I went down to Kansas City with him to
get it, off the road since the '70s, fairly rust free, scruffy, complete.
He brought it back to life mechanically and has been having great fun with
it.

If there is any car that pairs well with rough "driver" condition, it is a
side screen TR.

I kind of want one myself now.

Pic of him autocrossing the TR3 last weekend, slowest car, biggest smile.
Also a picture of my TR250, fastest car, second biggest smile, the
Michelotti TRs can be fun too :)
