You've shown remarkable good sense in choosing our ADDRESS FILE
(they nailed me on that years ago)... We are a sober bunch, not
given to levity of any sort... WE HAVE OUR RULES!!! The last fellow
who tried to say something in jest was summarily dragged to death
behind a Herald (we thought of using a TR6 but his death was deemed
more lingering if accomplished by Herald).
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO:
Speak ill of electrical maladays (you blew it buster, but we'll let
you slide `cos you're new.
Mention that your LBC (Loved British Car) leaks ANY fluid of any sort.
Speak ill of any vehicle, regardless of manufacture.
Complain about the weather, other inconsiderate acts of nature.
IT IS MANDATORY
To go on and on and on and on and on about mechanical, historical,
electrical, metalurgical minutiae (we give extra credit for extreme
obscurity).
To drive your LBC as little as possible (trailer it nearly everywhere)
We have spies everywhere and you will be found out.
To stick totally to the subject of Triumphs and Triumphs only (we are
particulary adamant about this point). Penalties are drastic (we used
to electrocute violators, till the control box went funky).
We are all unparalleled experts here and ALLWAYS right. NEVER
disagree with our pronouncements...8*)
Welcome, welcome, welcome...
