[TR] Feb 10 - Drive Your Triumph Day

Wed Feb 10 11:03:58 MST 2016

George Washington was born on Feb 22 (or Feb 11 - depending on whether you use the Gregorian or Julian calendar) yet we celebrate it on the Monday preceding.  This is also splitting the difference between Washington's and Lincoln's birthday in an attempt to appease the Illinois contingency.

could we not treat Sir John in a manner similar to the her majesty?
where he has a day of birth and an offical birthday.

"The great weather we're having?" That's a bit of a parochial statement, 
Rye. Many of us have our cars bedded down because winter means SNOW!

In some cases, lots of it!

Would that Sir John had been born in June or July....  :- )

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. http://www.triumphtravelers.org/Activites/actperp/activityList.php

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,

Rye Livingston
