I saw this in our local triumph newsletter a few years ago. Serveral wedge owner spoke up and the newsletter editor apologized.

I raced a Morgan +4 for 2 years in the mid 60s. They came with the TR3A engine in those days. One of the mates used to refer to his +4 as his heavily disguised Ferguson tractor.
Would I have bought the Morgan if I had known what a dreadful engine it was for a sports car, probably not.
How any one driving around with a tractor engine in front of them could sling off at us I really can't imagine.

Must admit to liking TR2-TR8 and all cars in between. The TR3 engine was as good as anything in its class that was made in the UK.

I'm interested in all TR's but back in the day the local register group wasn't. I've basically belonged for the monthly magazine.

Well it made me laugh. So I guess I liked it!
I spend my life being a polite and politically correct government employee - so when I get the 'opportunity' (privately) to meet a rude and opinionated individual who starts an uninvited conversation slagging off my 7 passion because their Escort, TR4, TR6 etc is better....I remind them how it's all about perspective and start gushing about my Series One E-type and MK2 Jags - pointing out how their second-rate vehicles will never quite be in the same league. That normally has the desired effect (unless they have an Aston or Ferrari at home).
It's great that people are passionate, and banter is fine. It's when they become rude that causes me to cash my book in on them!
Strikes me that all these cars from 30+ years ago were pretty rubbish if we compare to an average modern family car; say a Focus. For me it's all about what you like, not necessarily what is 'best'. Best is completely subjective. What you <b>like </b>isn't.
On the bright side most of the earlier TR owners are older (huge generalisation I know!) so their controversial opinions will die-off with them. Will be interesting to see how opinion changes over the next five decades (hope I make it to witness it!).
Sorry - must stay off the red meat for breakfast!

Interesting comment from a died in wool Jag owner before a club meeting last year "I never liked the TR7 but the more I see of yours, the more I like it".
