[TR] Today's seismic event

[Jim Muller]

For a few moments this afternoon the walls of Waltham shook to the 
thunder of a mighty Triumph 2-liter six.  Witnesses said the sound 
was accompanied by the flash of a red GT6 motoring sedately around 
the block under its own power, exercising all four gears, having 
first exercised reverse by backing out of the garage.  The event 
organizer was given a brief scare when, after ignition was first 
achieved following the car's long winter's nap, the engine rev'ed 
itself much higher than expected.  Investigation showed that a 
throttle return spring had inadvertently become unattached.  No 
further problems were encountered and the remaining activites 
proceeded as planned.

Today was a cold but otherwise excellent day.
