[TR] TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR TRIUMPH OWNERS

[darrell floyd]

Hey Listers,
I thought I would share this from the NCTA TRCoaster June Newsletter.
My
good buddy Ken has found a lot of stuff from his 76 TR6 including issue
#1 of  the 6-PACK newsletter.
Enjoy,
Darrell




TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR TRIUMPH
OWNERS
Due to a sudden overheating  problem with the TR6, I was looking thru my
parts boxes and found a copy  of the VTR and Triumph Sports Owners
Association newsletter for Mar/April  1983. It was mailed to the
previous owner of my TR and the postage was  11 cents. That's note
worthy in its self. As I was looking thru the  newsletter I found the
following 10
Commandments:
1. Thou shalt not store  thy Triumph out-of-doors, except for thy wife's
modern iron.
2. Thou shalt  not covet thy neighbor's Triumph, nor his garage, nor his
battery  charger.
3. Thou shalt not love thy Triumph more than thy wife and  children, as
much, but not more.
4. Thou shalt not read thy English Channel  on company time, lest thy
employer make it impossible to continue thy car  payments.
5. Thou shalt not despise thy neighbor's 240Z, nor his Mazda,  nor even
his 1948 MGTC.
6. Thou shalt not deceive thy wife into  thinking that thee is taking
her for a romantic Sunday drive when, indeed,  thou art going out to
look at another Triumph.
7. Thou shalt not allow thy  daughters nor thy sons to get married
during the hold days of a  VTR Convention.
8. Thou shalt not tell thy spouse the entire cost  of thy latest
restoration, at least not all at the same time.
9. Thou  shalt not promise thy wife a new addition to the house and then
use it to  store Triumphs in the attic.
10. Thou shalt not buy thy wife a floor jack  for Christmas, unless it
is for her Triumph.

Another piece of Triumph Significa that I found in the newsletter was
the following: Did you know that a TR-2 front apron was used as a model
for  the face of E.T.?
