TR6 is a classic car, similar to a Triumph Spitfire. They then went and made a TR7 which is one of the worst cars ever built.

I love it when I'm right - such a rare occurrence, alas! But I have distant memories of an old boyfriend who had a dark green TR6 which had a thing called "overdrive" which at the time was something to be very proud of.

Yep, quite a few cars of that era had overdrive on the stick, I think it was an option on the TR6 which was basically a boost for overtaking. Was a beautiful motor, then they ruined it with the TR7. Look at the difference..

Nice, Canuck! As gadgets go, it's top of the range!

 
No, they're not! But Canuck obvisoul;y regards this as his "toy" the same way dickywuh regards all his gadgets.

 
Yeah she's pretty sweet but temperamental. Spend more time wrenching than driving. 😭

I suppose that's part of the charm. Makes them feel more "yours" when you spend all that time fixing them, eh?

Yup that pretty much is it. Although I certainly could go for less charm and more driving!
