Still waiting for my radiator to come back from the shop.
I had high hopes that the unit would be back with its new high performance core yesterday. Nope.
Not back today.
Maybe Monday.
In the photo above, you can see the massive air conditioning radiator that is just forward of the engine radiator. This is the root cause why TR7s can freeze up the vents in no time.

VIR Gold Cup Historic Auto Race 2006
I had a great time on my first visit to the VIRginia International Raceway. My boss came up for the day (huge car nut - owned a MG TD, DeLorean, Boxster, TR4, etc) and we all had a great time. I ended up leaving about 4pm which is when my 54 SPF sunblock finally surrendered […]

About nine of us caravaned up from Winston-Salem and arrived a tad after 7pm. The burgers and dogs were wonderful. The fellowship was capital as always (I have now become a […]

British Car Day South 2006
A good time was had by all.
For me, the event started on Saturday night with the Triumph Club of the Carolinas’ dinner at the Wren House in Salisbury, NC. The food was good and the fellowship was great. My neighbor Malcom (back from Florida) was with me and we spent most of the trip down […]

Not sure how this happened!
In a total surprise to me, the Spider won Third In Class at the 2006 British Car Day South. By some act of God, or Confederate ghosts buried nearby, all the TR7’s got dumped in with the TR6’s for judging. But the mix-up proved once and for all that TR7’s CAN outrun TR6’s.
My life was […]

Paint scuffs
One of the items on my huge to-do list is to try to work out some buff marks in the paint due to a loose car cover that stayed on for years. I picked up some Meguiars ScratchX and it lifted right out. The car looks fab.
I also used some Meguiars Quik Detailer to clean […]
