Well, I am definitely male, and probably fit the description of
"mild-anglo" persuasion, especially as I used to live in Suffolk,
England, and my mom was born in Kings Lynn, Norfolk, England.  I
lived in Ipswich for one year, and then an itty-bitty town called
Orford on the coast at the River Alde, for three more.

However, I would not be considered middle-aged yet (I hope) since
they stopped making Triumphs before I got to high school. Plus I have
never had the word macho used to describe me, as far as I know...

As to a picture, I just put a picture of myself on
http://rassp.sanders.com/~streeter.  The pages there are brand new,
but there's a lot of pictures / prose about the TR6 there, for those
who may be interested.  If you do take a look, let me know by email
to streeter@sanders.com
