The story ends...
Since our wild winter ride Monday morning the TR6 has sat
back in the garage, but was covered with a fine layer of salt and grime. I've
been waiting for a slight break in the weather to get it outside and give it a
bath, all the time feeling sorry for my paint, my canvas top, my chrome, and
my undercarriage - although that part of the car has that very special Triumph
lubrication liberally applied over most of it.
This morning I awoke to
temps in the 40s, but dropping fast due to a cold front quickly on the way.
Off to work? Nah - I've got to wash the car - and now. So there I am out in
the driveway at 7:30 a.m. on a December morning in Vermont, the sun just
coming up, washing a British sports car. And not just a little wash, but a
thorough one. Yes neighbors, I am a little weird - "good morning and have a
nice day." And what happens then? You guessed it - a very heavy snow squall
hits. Keep washing - faster. But now the rinse water is freezing up on the
car. Keep drying - faster. More strange looks from the neighbors, but a
clean and happy car.
