I finally got a chance to put some miles on the TR3!!! Yesterday, the weather was outstanding, so my wife and I decided to go out to my inlaw's lake house on Mason Lake. It's 32 miles away from our place in Olympia, and I asked my wife if I could take the TR3 while she chased with the kids in the Oldsmobile. She even suggested I take our three year old (the cutie in my sig.)
Strapped Becca's old car seat (the booster needs a shoulder/lap belt combo, and the TR3 just has lap belts,) then drove up 32 miles of 60 MPH highway 101 and 45mph country switchbacks. Really fun. I gave Becca a pinwheel to hold, and she just watched it spin the whole trip.
My parents met us at my inlaw's place...My father and I made a run into Shelton to pick-up lunch (15 miles or so)-- he drove the TR3 into town, I drove back...I forgot how much legroom the passenger seat has!) ...Drove back to Olympia after going out to dinner...both kids rode in the Olds -- meaning harder into corners! Was a little chilly coming back, but so much fun.
The TR3 ran absolutely great! The oil pressure was 70 at 60MPH cruising and 30 at idle. The temp never climbed above 190deg (just a smidge past centerline.)
When I got back home, I had put 100 miles on it. The longest trip prior to this in the 16 months I've owned it was about 30 miles round trip.
