Geoff Kearley's TR7 Experience

Well. It's been a week, or two. The weather has been great and the TR7 has been performing perfectly. Well, really good. The top comes down and stows away easily. The car starts first try, every time. And, all you naysayers, it is a TR7.

The clutch ran dry and needed refilling and bleeding. The carbs ran low on oil and needed to be topped up. I checked these in March but should have checked them again as I have been using the car quite a lot lately. I haven't checked the differential or gearbox and, based on recent experience, guess I should soon. Those things are hard to do on an unpaved driveway. [Oh, my back!]

I have had several fantastic drives in the car lately; a 40 km run with a local club and a few private drives on my own. The club drive was great. There were 25 cars and about 1/4 were British; 3 Triumphs, 2 Minis, 1 Lotus and 1 Jag.

I have been on vacation and been using the car a lot. It is nice to get up in the morning and go for a drive with the top down. This is exactly what the car was built for.
