After being in Florida for 6 months, I went to start my TR3 (it lives in NC). 20 pumps on the fuel pump lever, choked it, and it started in seconds. Why again is it that we complain about reliability of Lucas, SU, etc.

I wish people would refrain from using "anecdotal". I get it confused with a near homonym and, if in third grade I had realized the difference between "anecdote" and "antidote", my friend Tommy Proscoe might be alive today.
