I want to thank Mark, Tonda and the entire team at Macy’s Garage for the superb restoration of my TR3A. Their care, interest, expertise and friendship have been tremendous. I cannot recommend America's BEST Triumph Shop enough for anything you need done to your TR.
I’ve had my car for better than 33 years. It is my very first car. I learned to drive a manual transmission in it. Had to, I just bought one and had to get it home- in February about 90 minutes from home. Mom and I switched cars about half way home so I could warm up. When she took off I was like **** mom… I had to punch the car I was in to keep up. Nobody can’t help but have fun in them can they? Or was it she wanted to get home to warmth. Ok, both. I drove it about one year then parked it with the intention to restore it.
My whole interest in these cars came from my dad when he had one in the early seventies. I bought one about 10 years after that. I still have the jack ratchet handle from that car. I remember coming across it after the car was sold. I knew what it was and hung onto it. That is in my car now- a nice connection to dad’s car.
A quick story. I was about nine when we had dad’s car. I was stung by a bee. I wasn’t sure if I was having a reaction or not. My loving brother, 14 years old, drove me to the hospital in the car. Still not sure if he was concerned for me or wanted to drive the car. Ok, both.
My car has won an award already. But the biggest award goes to Macy’s Garage. I’ve been tooling around for about 3 weeks now. I’ve gotten a lot of thumbs up and “hey nice car.” Nobody has asked if it is a MG- phew.
Thanks Mark, Tonda and gang at Macy’s Garage. You helped a kid’s dream come true that I can now share with my wife Rhonda.
