I’m unsubscribing. Political discussions are fine in their place, but I certainly don’t want to read hate filled rants when I open an email to read about Triumphs. Thanks to those of you who spoke up about it.</div>

I joined Scions of Lucas in 1990 and the Triumph list several years later when it was it formed. The information has been very helpful (Randall Young was a treasure) and it's been a great way to escape to the happy world of Triumphs even when I’m stuck at
a computer. I’ll miss reading the emails from the many good and interesting people on this list. </div>

If there isn't a way of banning Dave Northrup from this list, please delete<br>
me from it. I want nothing to do with mindless rants like his.<br>

David Nothrup is the same guy that accused Albert of torching his own<br>
business, The Roadster Factory, which is why I avoid reading anything<br>
Northrup post.<br>
<br>
I too, thank Dave Massey, for speaking up for most of us.<br>

England ceased being a power what? 250 years ago? They had a great 1000 years or so, but have slid into socialism, despite Margaret Thatcher and are being taken over by the Muslims. They are irrelevant in the world order<br>
<br>
William and Kate were the best thing to come out of that country but Charles has worked hard to make them irrelevant.<br>

No.<br>
The cars were made in England and their biggest market was in the USA. British-American relations are therefore relevant.<br>
