I bought my TR3A in 1985, and I joined the list shortly after that. My car is languishing in my shop, waiting for me to get back to its restoration, but, at 76, I’m not sure that I will ever be motivated enough to finish it. The problem is that I have a summer
part time job, which keeps me very busy, and in the winter I have tended to hibernate. Coupled with that, my wife has had several surgeries over the lasted several years that have limited her mobility, so any time that I am not being “Captain Mike” has been
taken up with taking care of her. However, I’ve promised myself that I will spend a day a week in the shop, this winter. We’ll see how I do!

</div>
<div>I hope the list continues. I’ve built some good friendships with various list members over the years. </div>

<p style="margin: 0.1rem 0; line-height: 1.0;">I joined this TR list in the mid 1990's following the purchase of my 72 TR6. I added a 73 GT6 in the early 2000s. I'm also on the shoptalk list and was on the autox list. My TR6 sports the team.net window decal.</p>

whitelist the domain and frequent users.</p>

Just out of casual interest, how many are still here in comparison to say the Millenium? I suspect not many.<br>
I know BookFace has many adherents and I was on it for a while until I seemingly upset its algorithms by saying something they/it didn’t like and BookFace has informed me more than once when I try to rejoin that I’m banned for life. Okay Zuckerberg, I’m not
in sympathy with your political inclinations anyway and I certainly got sick of receiving stuff your algorithms were convinced I’d like, when the reality was they bored me witless. I’ve been a reluctant subscriber to The Triumph Experience for a couple of
years which also doesn’t grab me. It’s too Standard-Triumph model specific, people get upset when they accidentally post to the wrong forum and there has been some disquieting and very discourteous responses and no one seems to be particularly helpful. Mark’s
monthly reminders tell me I’m logged to 6 Pack but I never get six pack stuff coming my way and even with the correct password, I can’t access it.<br>
The reality (for me) is that tech is going too fast for me to keep up with it and I refuse to spend any day of my surely now limited life transfixed by my smartphone screen that 99% of the rest of the world seems happy to do. I’m not enamoured by either my
former iPhone or current Samsung as they’re both full of trash programs that hold zero interest and I can’t be bothered or motivated to learn how they work.<br>
Perhaps it’s better for me to once more return to the days of carbon paper, card index boxes and an abacus. At least I know how they work!<br>
