Sir:
I must take umbrage at your outrageous slander of Triumph engineering. Even
in these days of cocooning and luxurious consumer goods (for those few who
can still afford them) rare indeed are those who can afford an automobile
with a built-in shower stall. The issue is merely your failure to recognise
the design for what it truly is, a concept 30 years ahead of its time; true
multi-tasking i.e. driving and bathing. In these days of traffic jams, the
Triumph may be the only hope for beating the morning rush.
Cheers,
Mark Hooper

You haven't driven a mile in my GT6.
In a real heavy rainstorm, the genius that was Triumph water engineering
has the
water come in the fresh air vent, and run along the firewall, until it
finds an
appropriate hole, and then through the firewall onto my right pant cuff.
Now that's livin', baby.
