George it is the best of both worlds :) Ya I need to get a big garage
myself...want to go half's? Hehehah I bought my Spit because I was getting
depressed not driving something British. My plan was to sell the Spit as
soon as the TR6 was on the road. Note that was before I drove in the
passengers seat of Spitfire down the road and back. ..........Now I'm in
love with it! My plan is to race out the Spitfire and do some auto crossing.
The Tr6 will be a frame up restoration close to stock with a few mods.
And yes I have drove a TR6 too.....but not in the passengers seat and not
right down the road. It is a nice cruiser I must say.

Subject: TR-6 discussions?
Hi list,
I just had to chime in here after seeing James'/Liv's/other's posts about
the TR-6. While I agree with Liv about the "classic British roadster", a la
Spitfire/MG-A/XK-120/etc., I also think (and I hope the Brits on the list
won't kill me for this!) that the TR-6 has a certain "classic British-ness"
to it. I like it a whole lot, and one day hope to add one (BRG/tan) to my
small Triumph "collection" (which, so far, consists of my as yet un-tuned,
non-running Spitfire). I'd also love to have an MG-A, red with wire wheels
and mirrors way out on the front wings. I may end up with my Dad's 120 some
day, but hopefully not any day soon. Heck, then all I'll need is a
*MUUUUUUCCCCCHHHHHHHH* bigger garage! :-)
