Tweaked on the TR8 a little yesterday after work, and took it out to play on some secluded twisties.

These things get better and better!

Get one while you still can. Oh, and mileage when I'm just cruising is still 27+!
 
Hmm - mine went down a bit. No idea why.
Perhaps I'll find out tomorrow when it goes back to the dyno...
 
They certainly can have a will of their own, can't they?

Still, the smiles per miles factor is HUGE!
 
When you only drive it on and off the Trailer, you should get more mileage than that Mickey!!
:angel: :jester: :devilgrin:

Mickey, it doesn't look like we can swap keys for autocross in Detroit VTR 2008. I'm starting a new (real?) job in 10 days, so it looks like no VTR this year ... :frown:

That means that you aren't pressing the pedal on the right hard enough. You do know it goes all the way to the floor, right? :devilgrin:

AW, MAN!

Well, congrats on the new (real?) job.

We'll no doubt catch up another time.

Hope the Triumph Trans-America thing makes it this way next year. And by the way, nice work on the correction to the article!
 
Sounds like you are having fun Mickey. I dream of the day when I too can depress that longish pedal on the right and get a kick in the shorts as a reward. I envy you my friend.
