I am pissed that I missed Kent at Triumphest.
When Kent and Carol shipped their TR4 over to England, it was for
T.I.M.E. at Mallory Park. Kent and Carol then met with my son and I
driving a UK members loaned Stag (thanks again Steve and Susan!!) at the
Half Penny Inn in Warwick UK, then caravaning with Mike and Betty Wattam
with their Stag to Portsmouth to take the ferry to Le Havre,
Seine-Maritime France, drive to Chbteau de Versailles , Claude Monet's
House and Garden, Giverny, Semur-en-Auxois for a B&B hotel vineyard,
then through Geneva to Martingny Switzerland for the European Stag Meet
2000. Kent's TR4 was the only TR4 amongst about 120 Triumph Stags.
Howards took a different route up to Normandy while Wattams and us made
our way back to Paris for another day at several museums including the
Louvre, then dinner in the Eiffel Tower. My son and I were in England,
Ireland, France and Switzerland for 28 days driving a Stag. Oooooh
Yeah, quite the epic trip it was, simply epic.
Kent and Carol, thanks for those travels!!
I hope to do it again in 2010 when the Stag turns 40!
