Yes, indeed he did, I caught that all the way out here in the west Texas of
Abilene.  Maybe John was raised in southern England?  Had a genteel nanny
from Beaumont?

OK, back to the TR side:  Got the 3B frame back from the sandblaster and
hurriedly sprayed on the etch primer coat.  Along with the blister raised on
my trigger finger I found and interesting crack that lead to an interesting
bend in the rail.  Everything was so nasty that I missed it beforehand.
Now, any of y'all know a good 'ol west Texas frame guy?

John said, "There's an urgent need for as many Triumph posts as y'all can
muster in the coming weeks for this corner of sleepy England."  That makes
my heart proud in Texas!  Good luck over there John, hubbub of almost any
variety will wither on the vine if we can just tolerate the brief frenzies.
Of course, here in the states we generate at least one hubbub per day if not
hour, thinly veiled as news, but strangely, they have become some sort of a
perverted entertainment source it would seem.  On a car note, my 1958 TR3A
is still waiting patiently for me to go in there and get started on it.
Sigh.
Cars are far more patient than humans.
