<p id="m_4289621190263466670reply-intro">This is a great question! I have a fun TR6 that I regularly drive, and another, mostly disassembled, that I have now realized will never see road time again, and parts (the entire drive train) of a third that provide the occasional useful part. What to do with the many extras (and extra extras, now that I think about all the crap I've picked up here and there over the years)? We have this fantastic communication forum, but actually moving physical parts (some of them way too heavy/bulky to economically ship) is a major roadblock. I suspect that the next several years are going to see a lot of metal get dropped off at the local metal recycling yard. </p>
<p>I've benefited from the generosity of many of you who have donated/sold/shipped needed accessories as I've kept up my habit over the years. I'm not particularly close to the epicenter of the Triumph club I belong to (Texas Triumph Register, Houston) but I've bought/sold/been given/provided parts with several of the members. But our numbers are dwindling, and we are not going to see another generation of Triumph aficionados. I will likely end up trashing a bunch of the spares I've collected. Like the good TR6 head/block in the corner (with the head firmly stuck on) that came out of a mostly-destroyed car I came across.</p>
<p>So I also await the wisdom of The List.</p>
