Two's company

[mjb]

Two is company, three's a crowd, and my wife my be right about too damn many:



Of course, I'm sure none of you have a backyard that looks like this.

And it is hard to tell from this picture but behind the Killer Spit is a blue TR7 coupe, and behind that a roundtail Spit parts car.
And the red 6, the only car that is complete and running, will be back in the hands of the customer later today.

Of course mine doesn't look like that. Mine needs the grass cut because I'm too busy fixing triumphs to fix the lawn mower!

Well if the picture was a bit higher quality and in better focus, you could see what the grass looks like under the squaretail parts car on the left ( free to a good home, or any other home for that matter ) and the trailer lurking behind the red 6.

Right now, my backyard looks almost nothing like that. The only car behind the barn right now is a very rusty early Herald Coupe. Of course, on the side of the barn are a TR3A hulk and an early GT6 hulk. In front are at least four Heralds, the Mayflower, the Standard Pennant, a Sports 6, a rusty Corolla Wagon that needs to go away, a Paseo that needs to stay (family "emergency" car, probably to be my winter car later this year), my son's '81 Subaru with the blown engine, the TR7 convertible we just picked up...and the Mazda B3000 for sale up by the road....

I need to let some of the grass grow real tall....

I think if my backyard looked like that here in NYS, I would get arrested!

But the wife wonders how I have escaped the authorities all these years restoring 3 Triumph cars + one Triumph motorcycle over the past 35 years in the same house/garage. With all the noise from my compressor, colorful language, sand blasting in the backyard, high speed grinding, cutting, painting, engine test runs with no exhaust I think I have been lucky I haven't been taken away along with my projects.

Yesterday she said I should cover the 2 rusty 6 fenders sitting next to the shed in the backyard because my neighbor is selling their house and there is a open house on Sunday. I told her that I still need the fenders until I get the replacements installed, painted etc so I can use the TR6 decals on the old fenders to insure I match installation on the new ones. Plus I will be too busy planting the garden this weekend.

If the potential new neighbors see those parts + my 3 outside, they will have a good idea of who their neighbor is!

I did agree not to run the 7HP compressor during the open house!
