that crummy movie "Love Story",

Another crummy movie saved by the hero, Forrest Tucker, driving a TC throughout, was "Trouble in the Glen", about clan warfare in Scotland. Victor McLaglen was a clan leader.

Come drive your 'T' on some of the greatest MG roads in America.

Above quote is in reference to Nova Scotia roads and I heartily agree. I was just there, unfortunately driving an Acura rather than a TC. It's perfect driving country. One of the highlights was attending a "Ceilidh", pronounced KAYLEE. It's a scottish style hoe down with really talented musicians. A refreshing respite from the trash music foisted upon us these days. If it weren't for the winters I'd move to my grandfather's province in a minute!

Yes, Love Story was crummy and was saved by the TC, as for Forrest Tucker they must have had to fold him twice to get him in the car, only guy bigger in a smaller car was Big Band Leader Paul Whiteman who drove an XK 120 Coupe. Curto

Wasn't Forrest Tucker known as the person you would most hate to introduce at a cocktail party? DDDDick

And to add one more name to the list of potential heavyweights who owned a TC - Primo Carnera - for some reason I'm sure he was the one, not Max or Joe. Gene

I agree. It was Primo Carnera. I watched him wrestle Larry Gaines at Wembley Stadium many years ago, when wrestling was a serious matter, after he had given up boxing. Geoff Love. Gene Gillam wrote:

Don't think he was ever worlds champ, but I have seen a picture of Primo Carnerra sitting in a T Type. That's pretty silly!!! Boomer
