Well.. like you say "built to drive"
I don't know how you guys up there stand it,..(hibernation and all) ..I guess it's something y'all are used to, though.
Hope you have some more fun soon.

grrrr, still waiting for the last bits of ice and snow to leave before getting the GT6 even out to the driveway. Roads will still be a challenge as there is a nice coating of grit / sand everywhere.

Hopeful for the end of March, provided winter decides it is done with us.

My first drive was about 20 feet. I got my wedge out from under the collapsed carport and onto my driveway. Need to get the windscreen and window finisher replaced now. I have the replacement parts and windshield upstairs in my guest bedroom.

Same here, Just backed the TR3 out onto the driveway. It hasn't been run up in months. I charged up the battery, cranked it for about 30 seconds and it fired right up. Settled into a nice even idle :thumbsup: . Wanted to to take it out for a drive but I was just to busy with other chores today. Taking it into Erik's tomorrow for it's post engine break in check up.

It's too bad about your car Justin, from the the picture it looks like a really nice car.
