Let me just say that I really like both of these ideas. I think it would be
fantastic to have a network of Triumph owners across the country who would help
each other out in both regards. As for us, we live in Columbia, Missouri;
right smack dab in the middle of the country, on interstate 70. We would be
glad to assist anyone who's passing through.

Brian. I've been trying to enlist listers for a similar purpose; you
could cross the country in your Triumph (ha!) and never be far from
mechanical help. Generally, the repsonse from the list for people to
add to the directory has been lukewarm. (This is not to say I don't
appreciate those that have contributed, I Do!)

PS I'll be glad to be part of your list. Let me know,

Dear listers,
While looking at the classified ads on the VTR website a thought
occured to me. Would it be possible to set up a "relay system" for the
transportation of Large or Heavy parts from on part of the counry to
another? This is what I envision: Say I find an Engine in Southern
Calif. for my TR7. The lister who offers it for sale transports it to
the next lister in the chain. This lister tarnsports it to the next and
so on until I drive to Houston or some other locale and pick up said
part. This would be viable only for large parts that can not be shipped
via usual common carrier due to weight or extreamly high shipping cost.
Any thoughts?
