<p>Andrew,</p>
<p>The problem I have is forgetting things I used to know. I have
owned 5 different Triumphs, 2 3's, 2 4's and a 6. Restored them
all over the years. Sometimes I have to think twice when a problem
arises on my current 3,4 and 6. I am hoping the list and its
collective knowledge continues and passes on to our sons and
daughters. <br>
</p>
<p>Randall and Fred have passed on and we will miss them and their
help but with the help of Randall's archives and the list we will
continue.</p>
<p>Bob<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New
Roman",serif">Every morning I browse various TR
websites and chat pages. One trend I have noticed is
various individuals who like to show how much they
supposedly know by demeaning or ridiculing those of us who
maybe don’t know everything there is to know. Goodness
knows how many dumb questions I have asked over the years.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New
Roman",serif">It made me think (again) about Randall.
If anyone had the credentials to be arrogant or
condescending, he did. He knew more about these cars than
most of us collectively ever will. Yet he was always kind
and sincere. Some of you may remember the individual a few
years ago who was trying to restore a TR3 and asked the most
fundamental of questions: Randall was consistently patient
and helpful while I am sure some of us rolled our eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New

Randall’s mantle as the TR guru. Well, it isn’t going to
happen, people.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New

always seemed to me a friendly and intimate place (with just
a few exceptions). I have seen less traffic recently and I
sincerely hope it continues for as long as we work on our
beloved cars. Mark does a great job and if I haven’t
thanked him enough, I apologize. Mark – remind us again how
to contribute.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
