To my way of thinking, this is why everyone should have at least two 
Triumphs! Of course, anyone who has seen my barn knows that my way of 
thinking approaches "disease" status! ;-)

Now THAT'S a dangerous bunch if I ever saw one! But it's always nice to 
see decades of pack-ratting and trivia collecting the mind pays off for 
others as well as one's self.

I hope to see your car this coming Saturday, Bill. Too bad "Joseph" isn't 
anywhere near as far along in the restoration process (year 21 and 
counting). Perhaps we'll have a match race once both cars are on the 
road. 1147cc and "Gobs of torque" through a 4.11 diff, v. 948cc and very 
little torque but through a 4.875 diff...man, it's like Garlits v. 
Prudhomme all over again, eh? :-)
