<html><body><div>We participate in British Car Week also, and it's also fun for those in the country who can drive their Triumph in February, to do it on the birthday of the man who created the post war Triumphs most of us are enjoying. Obviously those in colder climates can't take their cars out on the road, but they can still take a quick photo of their Triumph in the garage on the day of Sir John Black's Birthday. </div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>The whole point is not to do it for a week, but one single day to have people thinking about their Triumph, taking it for a drive if possible, and hopefully take a photo.
