TR6, Kathy takes the Triumph for a spin

My wife takes my car for a drive around the block. ;-)The incorrect camber in the rear has been taken care of with a change in the trailing arm mounts, this can be seen in the "TR6 Flyby" vid.

You have way too much negative rear camber, hence scraping your exhaust with the car sitting low at the back. A TR6 should have minimum 0 - 0.5 +/- degrees, and looking at that film, you have got to be nearer 3 degrees negative. Not good for handling, but looks kinda cool.

@mctim64 Silly me; didn't click on the link to read the rest. Lovely cars, aren't they?

@MrJayzee101 I sure love mine! Right now I'm coming back from Tahoe in the TR6, had a great time driving around the lake and in the mountains. The supercharger makes it a real screamer at altitude.

very nice. my first car in '72 in college in AZ was a '69 TR-6, BR Green. my girlfriend, later my wife, wasn't strong enough to depress the clutch pedal.

Never mind, but why did they not press the accelerator to the bottom?
