Ye Gods! I was planning on entering the Triumph Trans-AmeriCa Stag (just for fun - or isn't that 
allowed?) in for the Charles Macartney Driver Award. My only grounds are that I think the car could 
demonstrate evidence of recent use. Mind you, I would have absolutely no expectation of even getting 
a place so it would be just for fun. But having read this, I suspect I'd be completely barred 
anyway. After the better part of 10,000 miles over three months, I'd have to start cleaning now!!! 
Better by far, to park the car somewhere inconspicuous and let it enjoy all the bugs that committed 
suicide on it during the trip. Methinks that all Triumphs without exception since the dawn of time 
have done that.
