Subject: [TR] Today's seismic event

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.
