I am not an old timer on the Triumph list, I think I started on it a =
year or so after I got my TR250 in 2008. It does seem as though traffic =
is down, actually I think activity is down on the other Triumph place a =
frequent, British Car Forum. Unfortunately if things slow down too much =
either everybody leaves or most leave but a hard core few. I know Kas =
Kastner has a forum that is pretty slow, and I think six pack has one =
two. If you have to wait a day or two before you maybe get an answer to =
a question you are probably going to look elsewhere.
I do have to say that I don't think the long term prognosis looks that =
good. I know there are people younger than me on the list and on BCF, =
but when I go to my local club events I am, at 53, almost always one of =
the youngest if not the youngest guy there, we did have one college kid =
in the club a couple years ago, but he is gone, and other than that =
there are maybe 1 to 3 at the most couples/members in out 150 member =
multi-marque British car club younger than me.
I think the Healey list is a little more active, I still lurk there =
after selling my 100. I don't know what the answer is, adding picture =
capability certainly bumped up activity for a while (and temporarily =
overloaded my inbox!) but seems that was a flash in the pan.
