Gina, congrats on the new (old) TR6. Very, very cool.
I've never been in one, but always enjoyed the Spitfire... I had an '88 Prelude AWS and challenged a friend of mine in a Spitfire to a turning radius event. I think the Prelude got around in about 30' or so, but the Spitfire has this ridiculous front rack that lets it turn nearly 90 degrees. Scrubbing, squealing, and burning rubber, my friend did an about face in less than 20', I think. It was outrageous; and I got my patootie handed to me.
Anyway, hope you and Skip have a lot of fun in the TR6. You'll be buying a lot of tires for that thing if you drive it much; as I recall the rear camber is just silly. Also, you might want to have a spare electrician in the trunk.
Seriosly, best wishes!

yeah it will be fun doing fun stuff to it butt no doubt I will end up doing a few fixes 
I don't care it will be FUN just having the opportunity to do that 
funny you mention the Spit cuz I looked at one just the other day 
this guy has one that looked SUPER NICE and he's been moving it around the area with the FS Sign. I have a neighbor across the street that owns a
Merc and he saw it too. Told me to check it! Well we did and it was pretty much a POS once I rode in it and examined it up close. Which is why he had it so low $$$ NIGHT & DAY from the 6 but glad I did check on it at least
COME 2 MOM'S BBQ & take the 6 for a
