this summer. It was about 62 or so.

Sooooo, Miss Agatha and I went out to injoy it a bit, told the wife I would be back soon. Three hours later I returned.

Hehe, god it was a lovely day for a real ride. Miss Agatha purred along like the lady she is. She will run along with the rest of the trafic except for expressways. Oil pressure never went below 45 in motion and water temp stayed at 180 as it always does. It was just a real plesant run.

Now to get her ready for the first fall show on the 12th, and the second on the 28 I think.

Then it is time to pull engine and tranny for a bit of tweeking. Weather should be super in Oct.

Good Morn`n Jer,

I was reading your post & noticed that you have a "TR3" thats in your signature. You say your "Un-Decided" as what your going to do with it.

Should you have any intentions of selling her; Please PM me or send me an email at: toysrrus@att.net:

Please send pics & desc if you could.

Thanx, Russ

Tweeking:

1. Freeing up the first second gear locater plunger. It sticks so shifting is not as smooth as I would like.

2. Still a bit of a leak from the oil pump cover pan.


Why heck it will be a chance to get everything cleaned up good again.
