[TR] Feb 10 - Drive Your Triumph Day

[CFMTR3A]

a)      If at all possible I say that every day should be 'Drive Your
Triumph Day' (weather permitting) and I also think it great that the
Travellers group has a driving activity in February but it may not be an
opportune time for most of the country..

b)      There is 'British Car Week' http://www.britishcarweek.org/ in
May/June.  This is the 20th year for it and has a 'national' following.  Our
club usually does a British Invasion of one of the local 'cruise-in'
activities during that week.  For the last three years we have received
several People Choice type awards as well as Club Participation (most
members) at those shows -to the chagrin of the Hot Rodders, AACA, and other
clubs.

Ronnie,

 

I don't disagree, but Sir John Black's birthday is February 10th.  That's
why I urge anyone who can't drive their Triumph tomorrow, take a photo of it
in the garage or where ever, with that note with the photo of where you
live.  Better yet, open the garage door and take the photo pointing out with
snow on the ground.  :-)

This is a great and wonderful idea. I was wondering how this date was
decided. A large portion of the country may be unable to participate because
their cars are in storage as a result of winter precipitation. 

 

It seems like your efforts may yield greater participation if this event was
held in the spring.

Last year I got this started with the Triumph Travelers Sports Car Club, and
the story made it into the VTR December 1014/January 2015 edition.  Below is
the reminder email I just sent out to the Travelers, and thought I should
send it to this list as well.  Please read and send me a photo as described
below.

 

February 10th is the birthday of Sir John Black, who bought the rights to
Triumph to create cars to compete with the soon to be released post-war
Jaguars.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triumph_Motor_Company

 

To celebrate this date, PLEASE drive your Triumph tomorrow, or at least take
a photo of it.  Take it to work, to the store, or for a country drive.  Go
by yourself or take your significant other, a friend, child, grandchild, or
your dog.  Meet up with some fellow Travelers.  Then take a photo of your
car.  You and your car. Your car and your passenger.  What ever!   If your
car isn't running, take a photo of it in your garage or under a tarp. Then
send that photo to me with a brief description of where you are and who
you're with. 

 

If you don't want to go alone, there are two organized activities happening.
A group of Travelers are going to Canepa Design in Scotts Valley, and a few
Travelers are meeting at Alpine Inn for lunch and a group photo.  Both are
listed on the TTSCC Event Calendar.

I'll work with Chris to get all the photos in the Tails & Trails, AND, like
last year, we'll see if we can get it in the National VTR Publication.  But
we need you to drive your Triumph and take a photo!

 

With the great weather we're having, you have no excuse!  Get out and drive
your Triumph!

 

Regards,
