[TR] [6pack] What a rush !

[DAVID MASSEY]

 Those four-bangers make neat noises and are nice, torquey engines but the inline-six is just naturally smooth and sublime.  It is fully symmetrical with a multi-plane crank.  Best of both worlds.
Enjoy.

I started off timidly, since the engine had just been rebuilt and I always worry I may have done something wrong.  But after 10 or so miles caution was thrown to the wind and I let those 6 fuel-injected cylinders do their thing.  And they did - just amazing!  I am a huge fan of the 4-cylinder Triumphs (I have five of them, after all), but this was sheer hedonism.  And, of course, the thumbs up of the people who obviously thought I was totally mad in a convertible in 50 degrees and the kids with their noses pressed against the windows……  Apart from my beautiful wife and maybe Irish whiskey, driving these cars must be one of life’s greatest pleasures.
