So it has happened. Spitfire>6 magazine has announced that I will be taking
over as Editor after this next issue (#45). Howard Baugues has been editor for
10 years and is stepping down as editor but will still be a content contributor
and consultant. The announcement was made tonight via Facebook. I hated that I
couldn't say anything all weekend, but thought it best to let Howard announce
it in his own time. I have a lot of writing to do, but know that I will be a
Friends of Triumph member for the duration of each article, each event, and
every pic.
It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to meet most of you this weekend. I
had more fun than I can express. It seemed to go so quickly and was a pleasant
whirlwind of action through the whole experience. This weekend had so much
significance for me and my beautiful wife. We will remember and talk about the
weekend many years into the future.
I will be wanting to talk to some of you about your Spitfires and the stories
behind them. Without the stories, they are just cars. All of our cars have
stories, and that is what interests me most. If you have any stories or pics
that you think other Spitfire & GT6 people would be interested in hearing
about, submit said stories to me at shawn@triumphspitfire.com or email them to
me at my71spit13@yahoo.com which is my personal email.
Thank you all so much for the warm reception, the outstretched hands, and the
views of enthusiasts such as ourselves. We were honored to meet legends like
Kas Kastner, Bob Johns, and Dan Fowler. We were privileged to rub elbows with
the greats like Joe Alexander, Bill Dentinger, Tony Drews, Chris Marx, Ken
Knight (congratulations, btw!!!), Jerry Barker, on and on...A life altering
experience for me. Thank you all for that! Onward and upward towards whatever
the future brings.
Honored and humbled...
