Hmmmmm, leave the TR3 & an MGA grille alone in a darkened garage overnight (with mood music) & you'd be surprised what's waiting in the mrning! hehehehehe

A Spitfire? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
 
HEY. Raymond. Watch your mouth. This is an MG forum.
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
 
The problem wasn't with not being moderated; it was with being childish.

Janel you trying to pick a fight? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif (just kidding)
 
ME? Pick a fight?

Oh Mark, you cut me to the quick. I would never EVER (fingers crossed) pick or instigate ANYTHING. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/angel.gif
 
Janel doesn't start fights, she ends them!
 
~SNORT~
Hmmm. Come to think of it, I did, didn't I?

Or a Spitfidget /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
OH man, not the Spitfidget again!

Who let the rumfy in?
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
 
Spitfidget?!? that's too complicated to say.... I think "Spidget" rolls off the tongue much more nicely... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
I diden't make "spitfidget" up. It's a long used term for the 1500 engine midget.
Oh, and Jaybird. All of us 'rumphies manners fell out, over those low cut doors.
 
Is okay Ben. There's actually a 'rumpf I kind of like to LOOK at. Guy in our car club (go figure) has one. A 50something TR3 I think, TR3? 58-59 maybe?

Take care to never go for a ride in it. I woulden't want to be blamed for making a "rumphy" convert out of one of the BCFs leading advocates of MG. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
My TR2 is essentially the same car as the TR3 you're talking about.
P.S. Just for the record, Even though my soft spot seems to lie with the TRs, I really enjoy all the LBCs. I have had a 77 MGB (my first drivable LBC) and have access to my dads 69"B" and have worked on several more, And I love them. I would jump at the chance for an MGA or especially a "T" series having drivin and worked on those too.
I enjoy the traditional rivalry, It's always good for a jab or two, but I would never take a serious side for one perticular marque. I have a feeling most of us are the same way. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
 
This the best one and I tried the other with no results. I love you guys (yes, I'll have another) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thirsty.gif

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yesnod.gif Ditto! (just don't tell all my TR buddies) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

20 years ago I drove a TD as my "spare" whenever my TR3 was broken and I've always said that if you had the torquey-ness of my TR3 with the handling of the TD it would be darn-near perfect. I don't know if it really handles any better but it just is a kick in the pants when you can almost lift up a wheel in corners and not feel all squirrely like when the axle bottoms out in the 3. I just always felt bad for that little sewing-machine motor buzzing away at 65 miles per hour.
 
See, I KNEW IT! Called that one right....an MGA next to the TR3! Its gonna happen!
 
Steve - my 2006 GRM 1968 MGB GT has a 3.4 V6 out of a Camaro in it - & with all the weight reductions we've done to it, it only weighs 1700lbs!
