Friends Of Triumph:
2001 Triumph Odyssey might be worth mentioning again, briefly.
2001 Triumph Odyssey is an idea conceived by Mark Bradakis and I gave it a
name. (It could be called anything) Mark observed that after attending the
two Portland VTR Conventions (Maine & Oregon) in 1999 and 2000, we might
set a 'stretch goal' and meet in England in 2001.
Goodwood Festival of Speed might be a focal point. This was held in June of
1998 and I suspect it will continue to be. Linda & I have been planning to
make a return trip and Mark triggered this idea.
Our mission, if Linda & I are able to do it, will be to attend Goodwood and
then tour from there. This time I would like to see England outside of a job
assignment or a tour bus and perhaps spend three weeks or so. At least as
much as the retirement budget will allow.
If there is any interest in a group of us meeting at Goodwood, it wouldn't
hurt to start discussing it now. It is a little early, but the seed is
planted.
I'll ask the question again as there are new folks on the list or those who
did not get the original posting a few months ago.
WHO IS INTERESTED IN SUCH A GATHERING?
I suspect we could get 5 or 6 people and couples. Bob Lang would come. He
doesn't have very far to go. Neither does Henry Frye. Mike Jackson could
take his TR3A. How about a couple TR8s. V. Brannon has already scoped the
place out. He could be our guide. (I know, JonMac and Paul R are real close
too)
MG guys do stuff like this and they hardly talk to each other. (nudge)
I have made a brief contact with Club Triumph in England. I also contacted a
TR club in Ireland as I expect to tour the country of my grandparent's
birth.
