Couldn't be simpler. And the tall 5th gear was just what I wanted!

    I don't get it. Why buy a British classic then?

    I wanted a car from the time when men were men, and women were bra-less.
Crunching gears, pools of oil, and a trail of parts behind me is what makes me
feel MANLY. Making a British car reliable is like gelding a stallion (I am
typing this with my legs crossed). It is just WRONG!

    Better sacrifice a chipmunk to the prince of darkness to get the cosmic
forces of good and evil realigned, my friend. A reliable Triumph is a
perversion of nature, and I hate to think what evils will befall you unless
you set it right. <shudder>
