Hats off to you, Deano. Granted, if I was in Santa Rosa (instead of the
armpit of the universe with 50-below wind chills :-(), I'd probably be in my
Triumphs all the time, too. Still, 311 thou is a feat to be admired - that's
even more than the 275k I've heard quoted of Bob Jones's car (Temple of
Triumph, Fl). Cheers, JD

My 73 TR-6, now sporting 311,000 miles, has been a daily driver all
its
life. Right now me better half and I drive one or the other of the
TR or an
85 jag XJ-6 daily. This situation is certain to continue into the
indefinite
future. One is always noticed when arriving in either of these
beauts and I
take great satisfaction in rubbing 25 years of driving a TR that
still gets
admiring glances in the faces of the naysayers. With proper
maintanence and
conscientious driver(s) these cars can be as dependable as any other
and a
hell of a lot more fun to drive than most.
Deano.

Only part time.
When the sky is leaking, when I need to transport lots of stuff or
my
Irish Wolfhound my 1960 Land Rover is my primary means of
transportation.
otherwise my 1961 Triumph TR3A is my primary means of
transportation.
