but the 2-tone is part of the "character" of Killer, isn't it?
BTW, is the rear of Killer painted in the color called "Jasmine"?

Well, if Pugs doesn't make it - tell him we'll miss him.

... but what about those TR6's??? Let's see - I have the 4.88 diff with a
Quaiffe stting on the floor next to my TR6. Hmmm. I imagine it will take
quite a while longer to drive there with this setup - but I'll be a
candidate for "Most Miles Driven in a Triumph" because my odometer will
read something like: 1777.67 miles _each way_ if I use that diff... now, I
call the Hoosier guy and give him my MC number for a new set of tires...
this is starting to sound expensive!
Hmmmmm.
On the other hand, I could bring the "other" diff. and install it once I
get there...
;-)
Yep. Killer will probably get FTD - unless there's some "high speed"
stuff on the AutoX aka a "power circuit". Then we'll see what happens.

p.s. Wait'll Portland, ME... whoops! I'm not supposed to say anything
yet. Ignore that. But if the stars line up correctly - we should see a
new TR6 AP car there...
