Just got back from the First Annual British Car Flea Market down in
Bristol Pennsylvania.  Not a bad little Market for it's first year out.
Picked up a couple of bargains - a Used but good Gulp Valve for $1.00,
a working vacumn advance unit for the distributor for $2.00, a door lock
with keys, a used coil, and a good wiper arm with blade all for $5.00
and a small Sears sand blaster for $10.  Lots of bargains and a few
people who thought they had gold mines and their prices reflected it -
guess thats why they were still sitting there with not much sold :)

Ran into Kai's Mom and Brother (didnt know you had a Bro Kai - and Mom
say's HI!) She had planned to drive Kai's TR6 to the market but it wasnt
running right this morning - seems the throttle was sticking - she said
she didnt even have to use the gas pedal just the brakes as she test
drove it this morning.  (Don't worry Kai one of the Triumph guys was
telling her what to look for and how to fix  it - so hopefully it will
be in one piece when you next come home from school)

Drove the GT down and it was running crappy - found that the point gap
on the distributor needed adjusting - that fixed and the car ran as
smooth as ever.  

All in all it was a nice way to spend a Sunday morning and early
afternoon.   Beautiful ride down in some nice Bucks County countryside.
