Trev,
Congratulations on the WOF passage. The TR3 goes in this week for the same
tribunal judgment and subsequent test drives in ever increasing concentric
circles away from the garage until full confidence is restored for another
season!

Hi people....
Yesterday was a definite Red Letter Day for me. I took the TR4A down to
our local Warrant of Fitness issuing person, and it passed!! WOF's are a
complusory 6-monthly safety inspection. No WOF, no Registration! Anyway, it
passed, so next stop , get it registered and get going. A very good fellow
ex-Air Force mate now runs a small service centre, and has a soft spot for
old cars, so he had re-routed a brake pipe that was unfortunately running
across the battery, and a previous WOF check had detected a rear brake hose
in slightly the wrong place, so that was re-routed better.
Fortunately, the weather was quite beautiful for this time of the year,
and demanded top down motoring. GREAT!! Anyway today was a mini shake down
cruise over to our nearest city, a drive of around 19km and it performed as
a Triumph should....Perfectly! This bodes well for a larger run on Easter
Sunday when my wife and I are going for a slightly longer trip to Levin, a
town some 45-50 minutes away. Will keep you posted!
Regards......Trev......Feilding, New Zealand .
